We were pleased to have the first outing of our #mensch campaign yesterday, at the rally against anti-Semitism, alongside British Friends of Israel. Thanks to all those who dropped by to be menches, including Allison Pearson, Brendan O'Neill, Marc Cave, Debbie from LLAA, Itai Galmudy, Tali Smus and others. Mensch is a Yiddish word. It generally means a person of decency and moral backbone. Today, in 2026, having 'moral backbone' means to stand publicly with the Jewish community at a time when visible solidarity is most in need.

Biggest applause of the day for @KemiBadenoch before she even starts speaking. Clear that she’s only political leader that comes anywhere close to uniting crowd
On Monday, we launched our new report in Westminster, setting out the marked rise of antisemitism in the arts and the wider climate of fear, exclusion and silence surrounding it. Today, after the shocking stabbings in Golders Green, that reality feels even more stark. Antisemitism is real. It is not abstract, not exaggerated and not someone else’s problem. I stand with the British Jewish community, absolutely and without hesitation. Read the report here: freedominthearts.com
Darkness descends once more. Repel it with light.
HEROIC: A civilian stopped one of the terrorists and took his gun, saving countless lives. What a hero!

We join the community in expressing our sorrow at the passing of Manfred Goldberg - a wise owl, a gentleman and a man of admirable religious conviction. He held secondary schoolchildren spellbound when he came to speak at the Museum. Our condolences to his devoted wife Shary and to his four sons.
We offer heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of Adrian Daulby and Melvin Cravitz. We are not shocked. We are not surprised. But we are aghast. May the memory of these innocents be a blessing on the Jewish community of Manchester; and a wake-up call that appeasing a relentless stream of anti-Jewish racism is a poor recipe for social cohesion in this country.
