The Jewish community is facing one of the most challenging periods in recent memory. Antisemitism is out of control in Britain.
In recent months, there have been a series of deeply concerning incidents, including the attack in Golders Green, the murder of two Jews at Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester, and multiple arson attacks targeting the Jewish community. While steps have been taken by government, it is clear that there is a major problem within parts of British society.
In response, the British Jewish community, together with our allies will gather opposite Downing Street on Sunday 10th May from 1pm, to stand strong and send a clear message: Britain Stands with British Jews.
This is a rally about Britain. About what it now feels like to be a Jewish child walking to school in this country. To wear a kippah on the tube. To be on security at a synagogue. To be the only Jewish family on the road. And about everyone, of every faith and none, who finds the current climate of growing anti-Jewish hate unacceptable.
The rally will feature a range of notable speakers, including the Chief Rabbi. Senior politicians, including party leaders are also expected to attend. More details to follow.
