Condolence Messages to the Royal Family from the British Jewish Community

The 6th Edgware Brownies join with the Girlguiding family in mourning the passing of a wonderful Patron who was a Guide from the age of 11. When enrolled, a Brownie would promise 'to serve the Queen and the Community and help other people'. Over the years , the Brownies would learn of Her Majesty's involvement in Girlguiding and enjoy celebrating her Jubilees.

At this sad time we send our condolences to King Charles III and all the Royal Family. We hope that the memories they have of the Queen as a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and cousin as well as a Monarch will be a comfort to them.

Your Royal Highness King Charles III
Camilla Queen consort.
Princess Anne,Prince Andrew
Prince Edward,Prince of Wales and other members of the Royal Family.
May you accept my deepest condolences for your loss
I can't imagine how hard it is for you since this terrible news.

It's been a week since Our Late Queen Elizabeth II has passed away and my face is still filled with tears
I still can't believe we won't see her again and that she won't preside over our nation again
She was our Rock and our Matriarch and extraordinary Monarch who led Our Beautiful United Kingdom through good and bad times. She provided stability and a sense of well being.We would turn to her when times were scary and hard.

Thank you Ma'am. You made me so Proud to be a British Jew even if I was born in France
Your selfless devotion, dedication and commitment will never be forgotten.
You were the Heart of our Nation and the Sunshine of the skies and an inspiration for so many of us.
You can now rest in peace and be reunited with the late Duke of Edinburgh, the love of your life.
Don't be scared Your Son, King Charles III will lead us and will carry on with your legacy.
We will pray for Him and unite behind Him.
God save the King, long live the King.

I wish to send my condolences to the Royal Family. Our family were big royalists and my Dad (CBE) met the Queen on several occasions. He admired her greatly. We all did. May her memory be blessed and the history books be full of her righteousness as an example to us all. One for all.....

To His Majesty, King Charles III

On behalf of the Board of Trustees and all the staff at Maccabi GB, we wish to express our sincere condolences on the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

At this time of sorrow, our thoughts and prayers are with our King, the Queen Consort and the rest of the Royal Family.

Her Majesty the Queen will be greatly missed not only by the entire Nation but also by the Jewish Community of whom she was an unwavering supporter. As the representatives of Great Britain in the international Maccabi Jewish community, we share a message of condolence from across the globe.

May Her memory be a blessing.

Both my wife and myself wish King Charles III and his family a very long life. We wish him a very long reign. His mother Queen Elizabeth II was a most wonderful royal person. She will be greatly missed by everyone and is in our thoughts, I actually met her when I was approx 8 years old in Folders Green Hippodrome and she actually spoke to me.

The passing of our Queen is like that of a family bereavement. The feeling of loss has hit our family very hard. We wish the King and all the Royal Family 'long life' and all the strength needed over the coming days and weeks ahead.

It is with the greatest sadness that we learned of the death of Queen Elizabeth II. She has served this country with the greatest steadfastness and devotion to duty. The majority of us have known no other monarch and her death is a significant moment in the history of our country. We send our deepest condolences to the Royal Family and to all those who feel her loss. May her memory be for a blessing.

A true woman of worth.

It is with profound sorrow that the Movement for Reform Judaism mourns the loss of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. She ascended the throne only 10 years after the foundation of our Movement in the United Kingdom and we pay tribute to her life of selfless dedication to public duty. May her memory be a blessing and her legacy an inspiration to us all.

Co-Chairs, Movement for Reform Judaism

I have only known Queen Elizabeth II throughout my life,but felt that she was such an inspiration to everyone. She led by example,and was always respectful to others and allowed herself to be seen by all when out visiting nations, or just within our country. She worked hard on behalf of our country and expected nothing in return - "it was my duty". She was a beacon of hope to all and a shining example of how to behave regardless of what was happening in her life. I wish I could be half the person that she was.

May her memory be for a blessing and may she rest in peace now.

Thank you so much. Hilary & Daniel

On behalf of the Jewish History Association of South Wales, I send condolences and sympathy to the Royal Family on the passing of Her Majesty The Queen. She touched the lives of so many of us and it is hard to imagine a world without her. May her memory be a blessing. Rest in peace Queen Elizabeth.
May G-d save the King.

Deeply saddened by the list of an amazing lady.
A wonderful inspiration to us all

The members of Westminster Synagogue want to share our deepest condolences with King Charles III, Queen Consort Camilla and the entire Royal Family, for the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

We are grateful for the wisdom and dignity of her seventy years as our Head of State, for the guidance she gave to our government, and for her dedication to the welfare of all of us who live and work and raise our families here.

The Queen guided us and provided kindness and inspiration to the nation and to the world. In times of joy, she expressed our gratitude and in times of trouble she spoke to comfort us and reassure us of better times to come.

We pay tribute also to Queen Elizabeth’s determination to provide in this country a safe place for all to worship according to their faith. By her example, many learned to show respect and kindness to peoples of all races and religions. Every week in this synagogue, we have prayed for our Sovereign Lady Queen Elizabeth, that she be blessed with wisdom and understanding and that she advance the welfare of the nation. We are grateful that our Queen surpassed the hopes of our prayers.

We pray also for all who grieve for Queen Elizabeth, her family and those who knew her, and for all those who respected her dignity and leadership and who now mourn her passing.

May the life of the Queen and the memory of her inspirational service be a blessing to us and to our future generations.

May God bless her and keep her and grant her everlasting rest.

The Community of Westminster Synagogue

On behalf of my family I wish to extend our sincere and deepest condolences to the family of our late Queen Elizabeth. She was a shining example of devotion and love, and who worked tirelessly for the crown and her family. I believe her to have been a supporter of the Jewish people in the Uk, for which we are very grateful. She combined duty , responsibility, and family despite the challenges which this will have brought. An example to us all. Rest in peace at the side of your dear Philip. And thank you.

It is with immense sadness that the Wessex Liberal Jewish Community learnt of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. We extend our deepest sympathies to the Royal Family.
We will be saying a special prayer for King Charles III at our future services.

Mavar shares in the profound sadness at the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. That so many in our community, across the country, and around the world join together in mourning is a testament to her lasting impact. The Queen has been a steadfast symbol of dignity, commitment and service for decades.

We trust that her memory will be a blessing to her family and all those who remember her.

Queen Elizabeth II embodied all the traits of a great leader (including a lively sense of humour). She was true to her word, and her life as the Monarch was devoted to all her subjects in the UK and Commonwealth. It is so fitting to see people from all over the world pay tribute to her, and show their deep affection and enormous respect. Her Majesty was the best of us all.

With ours sincerest condolences to all members of the royal family. May you all be blessed with a “long life”

I was deeply saddened to hear of the Queen's passing.

I was surprised how cut up I felt about it. Its not like I knew her personally, but I feel like I’ve known her all my life, grew up with her and its hard to imagine Great Britain without her. It feels like I’ve lost a friend who has always been there.

I know that from stories from the Holocaust Education Trust, Holocaust Memorial Day Trust and the late Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks that she formed a special bond with Holocaust survivors when she met them.

It will feel weird at synagogue to read the prayer for the Royal family without saying her name.

The country will greatly miss her calmness and unparalleled dutifulness. Her commitment to duty, hard work and integrity were an inspiring example we can all learn from.

She didn’t just believe these values, she lived them and did it all with great humility. She represented the best form of patriotism. I was always in awe of her devotion to Great Britain and her utter selflessness and dignity. The speech she gave during the Covid-19 pandemic reminded me there would be better times and that we weren’t on our own. She was the gold standard when it came to heads of state, who would do well to learn from her and follow her shining example.

For me she was an island of stability, peace and calm in Great Britain, throughout times of great turbulence and tumult.

I'm sure I speak for many when I say the Queen's family and friends are in my thoughts, prayers and heart.

May her memory be a blessing.

God rest your soul our gracious Queen Elizabeth who saw us through thick and thin and devoted herself to our country.
Forever grateful to a wonderful woman. Rest in peace with your Prince.

Jacky and Ray Arnold from Nottingham
and All our family in London, Wales, and Derbyshire.
