Breaking News: British Jews Face Historic Shift Amid Unprecedented Changes

A wave of antisemitic attacks and rising tensions in the Middle East have left British Jews reeling, with the community experiencing its biggest change in 60 years.

Phil Rosenberg, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, says the past two years have been incredibly difficult, with the pain of conflict in the Middle East felt deeply. British Jews were among those killed in the initial onslaught, and people with British connections were held hostage.

The devastating shooting at Bondi Beach last weekend, which targeted the Jewish community during Hanukkah celebrations, and the attack on a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur, have collectively had far-reaching consequences.

Conflict in the Middle East has had a profound impact on British Jewish society, with a massive rise in antisemitism culminating in deadly attacks. Rosenberg says the Jewish identity is being worn far more heavily these days due to the pain of it all.

The community is now grappling with the aftermath of these attacks and the ongoing conflict. The Board of Deputies is working to provide support and resources to those affected.
