Brisbane provided only the 7th time in Tests that a side has declared its 1st innings in arrears, and gone on to lose the match. Aus's deficit of 22 runs at the time of the declaration, and the margin of their defeat (8 runs) are both comfortably the smallest in all the 7 matches
We will remember them. May their memories be a blessing.
This morning I was privileged to be present at the Remembrance Sunday ceremony in Whitehall, to pay respect to the fallen and to express our gratitude for those who so valiantly gave their today for our tomorrow.
Shabbat Shalom to our community. We ask you to remain strong and resilient in these difficult times.

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!
"In King Charles III we have a genuine friend of the Jewish community, and a genuine friend of our planet."
The Chief Rabbi describes a visit to a Jewish school which embodies the relationship between our community and the King.

As we mark the second Yahrzeit of my illustrious predecessor, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks זצ"ל I am mindful of his extraordinary contribution to the Jewish world and well beyond it. His remarkable legacy continues to be a blessing for us all.
