The vote was an assault on freedom of religion that flies in the face of Article 53 of the Polish Constitution, which states that “Freedom of conscience and religion shall be ensured to everyone” and specifies that the “performing of rites” is protected. It was also a slap in the face for Poland’s Jewish community, which has been part of the country’s social landscape for more than a thousand years, and which, despite the Holocaust, has witnessed a remarkable renaissance over the past two decades.
投票结果是对波兰宪法第53条宗教自由规定的挑衅，宪法说“所有人的信仰和宗教自由都应该得到保护”，并特别规定“宗教表演仪式”受到保护。这也是对波兰犹太社会的侮辱，一千多年来，犹太人一直是波兰社会的组成部分，尽管经受过大屠杀的苦难，但在过去二十年中迎来了令人瞩目的复兴。事实上，波兰有着丰富的犹太传统和历史，共产主义倒台后，这里被认为拥有最适合犹太人复兴的土壤。
