We are shocked by the attack on Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on Yom Kippur, and our thoughts are with the family and friends of the two victims, Melvin Cravitz and Adrian Daulby, as well as the injured.

Shocked, but not surprised.

This week, Jews worldwide wear costumes to celebrate the #Jewish festival of #Purim. But, as JPR Executive Director Dr

Today is #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay. 80 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, #antisemitism has increased following the #october7 attacks in Israel by Hamas and the subsequent war in Gaza. But are there any signs of a Jewish 'exodus' from the UK?
