𝗡𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗚𝗢𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗡

On this day, we remember the victims of the 7 October terrorist attacks on Israel by Hamas, the single largest murder of Jews in one day since the Holocaust.

We honour their memory, stand with the survivors, the bereaved families, the hostages and their loved ones, and reaffirm our commitment to the State of Israel and its right to exist as the nation-state of the Jewish people.

May their memories be a blessing.

Today, on the English date marking one year since the terrorist attack on Heaton Park Synagogue, we remember with sadness and love Melvin Cravitz and Adrian Daulby, z”l, and we continue to hold in our hearts all those who were injured, traumatised and affected by that terrible day.

In the immediate aftermath, and throughout the year that followed, The Fed has stood alongside the victims, survivors and their families, providing specialist social care, emotional support, advocacy, practical assistance and ongoing help navigating lives changed forever. That support continues today, because trauma and grief do not end when the headlines fade.

As the Manchester Jewish community, we remember. We mourn. And we remain committed to ensuring that everyone affected knows they are not alone.

We also stand with Rabbi Walker in his steadfast desire to ensure we do not let the terrorist's actions define us, and we join with him in reiterating that we will remain a proud and visible community. 🧡

You will be sent an invitation in the post when it is time for you to book your cervical screening appointment. Your invitation letter will tell you where you can go for your screening and how to book.

Most cervical screening is done at a GP surgery by a female nurse or doctor and each appointment usually lasts only 15 minutes.

Call your GP surgery as soon as you can to book an appointment.

Last night, The Fed and the Jewish Representative Council of Greater Manchester & Region were delighted to welcome Lord Michael Gove in conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti for a thought-provoking and wide-ranging discussion on Israel, British Jewry, anti-Jewish racism, and the challenges and opportunities shaping Jewish life today. The event attracted an audience of 330 people from across the community, reflecting the importance of these conversations at such a pivotal time.

We extend our sincere thanks to Lord Michael Gove for his steadfast support of both the UK Jewish community and the State of Israel, and to Jonathan Sacerdoti for his eloquent, insightful and powerful advocacy

In opening the evening, Raphi Bloom reflected on the shared mission that brings The Fed and the JRC together. While one delivers social care and the other provides representation and advocacy, both organisations are driven by the same goal: to strengthen, protect and sustain Jewish life in Greater Manchester.

He spoke about the importance of caring for our most vulnerable, standing up for our community, and ensuring a vibrant Jewish future for generations to come.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and to our event sponsors Asserson and the Jewish Leadership Council.

Together, we continue to build a stronger, more resilient Manchester Jewish community.
