    We have removed the video of schoolchildren singing Hatikva after receiving hate-filled messages like these. The video had nearly 300,000 views and we're delighted it made so many people happy - but we didn't want these messages of hate to be associated with our children.

    Today we mark, with great sadness, the first yahrzeit of our former Chief Rabbi, Lord Sacks, may his memory be for a blessing, and remember his enormous contribution in that role and far beyond.

    We are horrified and devastated by the murderous terrorist attack on two mosques in Christchurch. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families and the Muslim community in New Zealand, here in the UK and around the world.

    The positive power of social media. 30 people attended the funeral today, including a good minyan, and we were able to say Kaddish. Thank you to everyone who came, and to everyone who spread the word by retweeting. 🙏

    islamophobia, homophobia, misogyny, racism and anti-Semitism. Sadly, these things are connected. This is a time for people of all backgrounds – of all faiths and of none - to stand united and show our determination that we do not tolerate prejudice, hate and division – /4
