London —
A week of assaults on synagogues and other communal buildings has created an atmosphere of heightened anxiety in London’s Jewish community.
And yet this series of antisemitic criminal acts has also strengthened the resolve of some of those affected.
The rabbi of Kenton United Synagogue in Harrow, northwest London, which was attacked by arsonists over the weekend, took to social media on Sunday to show members of his congregation gathering in his home to pray.
“We must not be deterred by what is taking place out there. It must not in any way affect who we are as Jews,” Rabbi Yehuda Black said on X.
