Statement from the Rabbis
The President, Council and Rabbis of the LJS are deeply saddened and shaken by the devastating attack against worshippers and security personnel that took place on Yom Kippur at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation in North Manchester. Our hearts go out to all those affected by this tragic assault on the holiest day of the year. Our thoughts are with the families of those who were murdered and with those who have been seriously injured. We express our solidarity with the community of Heaton Park and have sent a message of sympathy to their Rabbi Daniel Walker.
Let us continue to build bridges of dialogue and friendship and resist the polarisation that divides our religious communities and politics over these past two years.
May God comfort those who mourn, bring healing and recovery to those who are injured, and consolation and strength to a community in deep pain and shock.
