How times have changed…
On 3 September 1189, Richard I was crowned King in Westminster Abbey. Jews were barred from attending, but in a spirit of heartfelt goodwill, some Jewish leaders arrived bearing gifts for the new king. They were informed that Jews were not welcome, whereupon Richard’s courtiers stripped and flogged them, and then flung them out of court.
A rumour spread that the King had given an order for all Jews to be attacked. While some Jews escaped, arsonists set fire to many Jewish homes, some Jews were forcibly converted, while others were given sanctuary in the Tower of London. Some thirty innocent Jews were senselessly murdered on the day of the Coronation, including Rabbi Jacob of Orléans, the most senior Rabbi in England at that time.
These tragic events stand in sharp contrast to our experience as Jews in 21st Century Britain.
His Majesty King Charles III has made it clear that he wants representatives of the Jewish community and other minority faith communities to be present for the coronation service. In addition, he has established an unprecedented opportunity, following the service itself, for faith leaders to be incorporated into the formal proceedings. I will be privileged, together with four other senior faith leaders, to greet the King with words of tribute and blessing. At every stage, the Palace has been sensitive to the requirements of halacha (Jewish Law) when considering how best to include us. With this in mind, in accordance with the laws of Shabbat, I will not be using a microphone.
This is in addition to The King and Queen’s gracious invitation to host Valerie and me at St James’ Palace over Shabbat, when we will cherish the extraordinary opportunity to light Shabbat candles, make kiddush, eat our specially catered Shabbat meals, sing zemirot and chant Havdalah within regal surroundings.
We are blessed to have a Monarch who holds a deep, personal conviction that there is great strength in the diversity of our country and who cherishes his warm relationship with British Jews.
In the Book of Ecclesiastes, we are taught that: ‘there is a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to cry and a time to dance with joy’. Nearly a thousand years ago, the Coronation of a Monarch was a time to weep for the Jewish community, but today, thank God, it is a time for great celebration. As we enter this Carolean era, may our country be blessed to know many more moments of such celebration, and may God save the King!

Memories that will last for ever for my boys. It was a joy to watch how helpful Messi and Mbappe were after ANG vs PSG.Imagine every single person who sees them, wants a photo and they showed such class engaging and smiling with all the young kids. A masterclass in humility. 👌

Also let’s not forget that Kamala Harris’s family when they lived in Caribbean had white Irish slaves.

So, 3 kids went to school to learn and the parents expected them to come home but they aren’t going to see their faces again. Three teachers went to school to teach children but they aren’t coming home to their loved ones and children either.
Why do republicans think there isn’t a problem with gun control in this country?
Until they go home with the same loss of life feelings nothing changes!

Where GPs are resourced to provide structured care to patients health, outcomes improve and pressure on hospitals reduce. The IMO urges Government to ensure health policy is led by medical evidence and not by politically motivated promises.

My son was bullied in school last year.
The ‘cool’ kids harassed him in the classroom. And wouldn’t let him play sports at recess.
We noticed how much he hated going to school every day. After months of being bullied he finally broke down and told me what was going on.
I was bullied as a kid too, so I knew how it felt. My heart was broken for the little guy. I took it seriously.
I sat in his bed until late that night giving him perspective and tools.
He went to school the next day armed for battle, but our plan backfired. He was crushed again. He wanted to give in. Maybe change classes. I told him not to give up.
We went back to the drawing board.
The day after he managed to turn it all around. He stood up for himself and showed the bullies he’s not to be messed with a respectful way.
He was invited to play! He ended up becoming one of the best players in the school. 💪
Fast forward…
Yesterday my son was playing soccer. And a boy tried to play. The kids wouldn’t let him in. A few years back they gave this boy a nasty nickname and he’s been sidelined ever since.
Yesterday on the court, my son also called him the mean nickname. He saw how much it hurt the boy.
He remembered his hurtful it was when we was bullied.
He came home from Synagogue and told me what happened. He felt terrible.
I told him the right thing to do was to call to say sorry. He didn’t want. He was to shy and embarrassed.
I called the boys father anyways. He told me that his son is having a rough year because of the bullying. My son heard every word.
His father passed the phone to his boy.
I put my son on the line.
“I’m sorry I called you that name. From now on I’ll make sure that nobody bothers you .” My son said.
The boy responded “thank you Menachem.”
My son said “can we be friends?”
I heard the boy chocking up and struggling to answer. Finally he said in a teary voice…
“Yes”.
Lesson learned, bullying is serious. We as parents have to be just as concerned about other kids feelings as we are about our own kids.
We have to turn our children into leaders and defenders instead of bystanders.
I subscribe to the hands on parenting method. How about you?

Today it was revealed that Former President Carter asked Joe Biden to give his eulogy. Here are some things to remember Carter by while he's still with us:
- At 95-years-old he continued to build homes with Habitat for Humanity as seen below.
- In the 1960’s he supported civil rights, which hurt his early political career in Georgia.
- Jimmy Carter won a Nobel Peace Prize
- Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter are the longest married president and first lady ever.
-In 2006, he was instrumental in reforming the U.N. Commission on Human Rights, now the U.N. Human Rights Council.
Best wishes President Carter!
Your positive mark on history is a BIG one.

Two years ago people who didn’t agree with wearing masks were vilified, called anti-maskers, right wing nut-jobs and actually fined. Now all the evidence and all the latest published studies clearly show they were right and masks make and made no difference. So when do we get an apology and will those who were fined get a refund as the fine was based in a law that was misinformed.
