Meet Lilian Hochhauser. She brought the world’s greatest musicians and dancers to Britain and believed that music and ballet should be for everyone, not just those who could afford them. At 100, her extraordinary story deserves to be told. @JewishChron
My dad & grandad were London cabbies. Dad is no longer here but I know exactly where he would have been today, on Westminster Bridge waiting to take our veterans home. Two generations of my family belonged to this trade. I have never been prouder of either of them. There are some debts a nation can never repay but it can always remember whom it owes.
Today the @DailyMail, together with the @alzheimerssoc, launches a campaign to help tackle this horrible disease, and I have written about my father, who died earlier this year. Please donate if you can - details below. https://t.co/7GwwABQa8H
Just want to tell you about an amazing colleague I met last week. Victoria joined us 3 years ago when she was still in prison, via our Max Spielmann training academy inside HMP Downview. She started to go out on day release, and has now worked her way up to shop manager, and now has become a member of the area team!
A powerful stand against hate!
Watch Rob Rinder honour hero Andrew Franks on stage with a moving tribute that brought the entire room to its feet! 🙏✨

Antisemitism in schools meant we had to change our daughter's school midway through year 5, then sell up and move areas to be able to send her to a Jewish secondary school - something we never envisaged as a secular family. It's a real issue and I'm glad it's being tackled.

🇮🇹 100 Jewish early childhood educators canceled their trip to a professional conference in Italy after they were told to sign a statement condemning Israel.
🇨🇭 An Israeli film was excluded from a queer film festival in Switzerland after the filmmaker was subject to questioning about his beliefs about Israel.
🇬🇧 A British comedian was kicked out of a writing group after being questioned on his beliefs about Israel.
🇮🇪 An Irish hotel cancelled the reservations of 70 people who were attending a conference on combatting antisemitism.
These are just from the past week. Caring about Palestinians is not an excuse to be silent when antisemitism is being normalized across the world.
