"It's unfortunate that you can not see the positive side in this story," Sharbatov responded to him. "I did not sign there to be a tourist, but to show the world that the Jews are coming back stronger than ever. We will never forget the Holocaust, I try to give us hope."
"You are a talented actor," the rabbi replied. "Couldn't you find any other group to sign? Every gate you conquer will turn a pride into a city that watches our brothers and sisters go up in flames, every day. In my opinion, everyone who lives in this city today is guilty."
"I had other options," Sharbatov replied. "But if you can not see that this whole story is bigger than me and you, it is disappointing. My goal is to raise a trophy, so that the fans cheer for a Jewish hockey player. That is why I am here - to write a new chapter in the history of the Jewish people. We can get anywhere in the world, and no one can stop us. "
