What a loss. Thank you Saul for reminding us of this clip of the late, great Rabbi Sacks. On America's birthday his words are profound. Happy 250th to the USA! Keep shining as a light to the Free World, manifesting the best of our shared values.

Happy 250th birthday to the USA, by far the greatest, freest, richest, and most beautiful nation the world has ever seen. You are the capstone of human accomplishment. The late Lord Sacks, Chief Rabbi of the UK, explained it best: more than 100 years before the movement to

אישרנו היום פה אחד בממשלה מהלך אסטרטגי לעתיד העם היהודי: תכנית לאומית לחיזוק החינוך היהודי בתפוצות, בהיקף של 200 מיליון ש״ח. כיום חיים בארצות הברית כ-1.8 מיליון ילדים יהודים בגילאי חינוך, אך רק חלק קטן מהם לומד במוסדות חינוך יהודיים. אנחנו רואים בהרחבת החינוך היהודי יעד אסטרטגי בעל חשיבות לאומית מהמעלה הראשונה, במיוחד לנוכח העלייה באנטישמיות והאתגרים הגדולים שעומדים בפני יהדות העולם. התכנית תסיר חסמים מרכזיים שמונעים מילדים יהודים לקבל חינוך יהודי איכותי: עלויות שכר לימוד, מרחק גיאוגרפי, מחסור במענים לתלמידים עם לקויות למידה, והצורך בחיזוק המצוינות של בתי הספר. לצד זאת, נפתח מסגרות חדשניות וכלים דיגיטליים שינגישו חינוך יהודי לקהלים רחבים יותר. האנטישמים מבקשים לפגוע לא רק ביהודים, אלא גם בזהות שלנו, במורשת שלנו ובקשר שלנו לארצנו. התשובה שלנו היא ביטחון - אבל גם חינוך, שורשים וגאווה יהודית. יחד עם שר התפוצות @AmichaiChikli ועם קהילות יהודיות ברחבי העולם, נחזק את הדור הבא של העם היהודי ואת הקשר העמוק שלו למדינת ישראל. זו המחויבות שלנו לעתיד העם היהודי.

The silence is broken. “Silenced No More” — the groundbreaking 298-page report exposing Hamas’s systematic sexual terror, rape, torture & mutilation on October 7 and against hostages.

I couldn't be happier to welcome the singular @DouglasKMurray to @TheFP as a weekly columnist. thefp.com/p/douglas-murr…

Following the Government’s request for the Charity Commission to investigate UK charities with links to Israeli settlements, CFI Honorary President Lord Polak CBE challenged ministers on whether the same scrutiny is being applied elsewhere: "If the Government is investigating UK charities with links to disputed areas, is it also examining charities that support the IRGC, the Muslim Brotherhood, or Palestinian rejectionist groups - or are Jewish charities being singled out?"

Liheyot Ye’udi, an educational program inspired by the teachings of Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, has completed its second year after reaching 70,000 students across Israel, organizers said. jpost.com/israel-news/cu…

A simply superb paragraph by Sam Harris.

Thank you to @LordJohnMann and @DannyStone1 for all their outstanding work on all things related to combatting antisemitism over so many years. We are blessed to have them advocating on our behalf. This is sure to be another important contribution.

I know that Jewish people, and everyone experiencing discrimination, need action not words.   Together with NHS England, we'll waste no time in setting Lord Mann’s recommendations in motion to build a health service that lives up to its founding values.

Further to Blair. Literally every honest sensible person in all the main parties privately agrees with all these propositions: - welfare spending is too high and is throwing good people on the scrapheap - defence spending is too low - the triple lock is unsustainable - without cheap energy we cannot exploit the AI revolution - we should be investing in EVERY form of energy: renewables, nuclear and the North Sea - migration needs to be controlled to boost social cohesion and because the boats look like a huge failure of the state - any new relationship with the EU will be imposed on us until we are stronger and cannot involve the closeness some desire without freedom of movement - we are deeply embedded with America in ways which the public does not understand and cannot be told and however joyous it makes us feel to hate Trump, disengagement at the deep state level is not only wholly unrealistic but also undesirable - Whitehall needs a total overhaul so specific project expertise and political appointees can be brought in quickly Blair basically says all that. The one thing he doesn’t say and which the same group of people agree on is this and it’s something Blair left behind: - judges and quangos have too much power, are unaccountable and without redressing the balance in favour of parliament it is very difficult to do anything big fast - the bare minimum that needs to change in this regard is to reform judicial review and planning law so we can put building and economic growth ahead of newts and NIMBYs None of that above really ought to be up for discussion. It is all common sense but not one of our politicians will publicly say all of it Whatever you think of Blair, engage with what he’s saying not how he makes you feel. The bare minimum we should expect from any leader is that they have an analysis of the current situation and a plan to deal with it which is as coherent and realistic as his intervention. Pretty well every critique I’ve read so far has failed to meet this requirement. Over to Andy and Keir and Kemi and Nigel and Zack and all the others

Yes, I get it, you all hate Tony Blair etc you’ll find loads to disagree with here I’m sure - but the quality of analysis of our problems and what any potential leader ought to be thinking about if they want to solve them puts this essay light years ahead of what any current contender for national leadership has offered. Anyone who wants to be an effective prime minister (including the current one) should read it

The King's visit was not contractually required. No law compelled it. No political calculation demanded it. The King came because a faith community he cares about had been attacked on its own streets, and he believed his presence mattered. It was a covenantal act – freely chosen,

Delighted to have this piece published on the @JewishChron that looks at the current battle against antisemitism through the prism of HM The King’s visit to Golders Green, the upcoming festival of Shavuot, & @rabbisacks’ teaching on the difference between contract & covenant.

Everyone needs to go to the @novaexhibition in London. I have just been and I am completely shaken by what I saw. As you walk among the tents, awnings and burnt out cars salvaged from October 7, you’re shown footage from the day, filmed by festival goers and bodycam footage of the Hamas terrorists. The glee with which they murdered innocent people is vile. There’s no glory in it or justification for it. As well as the brutality and evil of that day, there are also inspiring messages of hope. If you really want to understand what happened on October 7 and how it felt, please go. You will l leave deeply affected by it. But also, somehow, with more hope for humanity.

Another shocking antisemitic attack. An Israeli man was brutally beaten by a group of men in Golders Green simply for speaking Hebrew. This horrific violence must stop. Read the full report by @jewishchron here: thejc.com/news/uk/israel…
