On Wednesday, April 29, in the Golders Green neighborhood of London, an individual approached two Jewish men with a knife and stabbed them multiple times, in an unprompted attack that has been declared an act of terror.

According to the Community Security Trust (CST), there have been 3,700 recorded antisemitic incidents in the UK in 2025 alone, the second-highest total on record. 1,844 of those incidents were recorded in the Greater London area.

The Appeal of Conscience Foundation stands up against antisemitism and all forms of hatred, and remains in solidarity with the United Kingdom’s Jewish Community in the wake of this tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims as they recover.

On the anniversary of the deaths of these worshippers and so many more, we honor their memory and continue to work towards a future where no one will have to live in fear of visiting a house of worship.
