No words needed except #BringThemHome #BringThemHomeNow

Today, Board of Deputies President @philr_r, together with Vice President @andrewgilbert1 and Chief Executive @michaelwegier, met BBC Director General Tim Davie to discuss Jewish communal concerns. Here is our statement about that meeting:

Tisha B'Av (the 9th day of the month of Av), is the saddest day in the Jewish calendar, has just started. We fast, deprive ourselves and we pray. Let us pray hard that the world will become a better place. Wishing those that do, an Easy Fast. #TishaBAv

Please watch this excellent heartbreaking documentary film which offers the truth as to what happened on 7 October #TishaBAv Aish givebutter.com/9avfilm/?utm_s…

Deepest sympathies to the families of the 6 murdered hostages whose bodies were recovered by the IDF overnight. Hoping and praying that the rest of the hostages will come home soon #BringThemHomeNow #BringThemHome

*Hostages in Gaza:* Following the recent recovery of several bodies from Gaza, the families of the hostages have published a graphic showing which ones have not yet come home. #BringThemHome #BringThemHomeNow Israel in the UK 🇮🇱🤝🇬🇧 Bring Them Home Now

Returning to Manc from London Euston recently I went to the ladies loo. I saw graffiti on the door, took a photo & complained. Today, I received an email stating "I can confirm cleaners were sent this morning to remove the offensive graffiti that you reported to us." 😀✡️ 🇮🇱

The UK will halt some arms sales to Israel. What a day, the day when six hostage families are burying their dead. Crazy times ahead. Does David Lammy and Keir Starmer not care about the hostages or the UK Jewish community? Board of Deputies of British Jews Christian Wakeford MP

Our statement on the Government's decision today to institute a partial arms sales suspension against Israel:

With Board of Deputies of British Jews President Phil Rosenberg and VP Jeremymichelson we visited Southport & the mosque attacked by far right hooligans in late July to show solidarity. Thanks to Maurice Ostro, Strengthening Faith Institutions (SFI) & Southport Hebrew Congregation’s Gillian Moonman helping arrange #interfaith

Labour’s senseless arms to Israel ban just sends a message to our enemies that we are weak on terrorism Me in The Sun for Board of Deputies of British Jews this morning. thesun.co.uk/news/30240758/…

Does it matter who Taylor Swift endorses as the next President Biden. People should vote for who they want to win the election, not who someone else wants! After all it is a private ballot, isn't it!? #PresidentialElection2024
