Three were installed in Berlin today in honour of my late Grandma and her parents who escaped on the eve of Kristallnacht. The most extraordinary day recalling the most unfathomable stories. So grateful to @Stolpersteine_B

We've made this a tradition the last few years & I'd like to continue it: Today is the 83rd anniversary of #Kristallnacht. Send me your polished Stolpersteine memorials from across Europe #9November

Jon you are and always have been a legend. Your decision to share your last big story will do so much to help people afflicted with Alzheimer’s. Sending you and your family love and sharing this picture of the last ever @Channel4News I presented with you in December 2021. ♥️

Look at the reception Randal Kolo Muani is getting from the Tottenham Hotspur fans as he comes off 👏

Two people have been stabbed in Golders Green - the heart of London’s Jewish community - at the bottom of my road. The Government needs to get to the root cause of this problem. There can be no stone left turned. The silent majority needs to speak out now. Before it really is too late. Although I fear it already is.

one man with a chatbot, and $3,000 just outperformed the entire pharmaceutical discovery pipeline.

we are going to cure so many diseases.
I dont think people realize how good things are going to get

[S Sebag Montefiore @simonmontefiore]

It is now 12 dead. 30 wounded.
And the heroic and unarmed civilian who attacked and disarmed the terrorist at the Chanukah massacre in Sydney and seized his rifle is Ahmed El Ahmad.

Ahmed, 43, is a father of two and a fruit shop owner. He risked his life to save others. He was shot and wounded.

Without his heroism, casualties would have been far higher.

Given today’s horrific events in Sydney, we recognise wishing our Jewish fans a happy Hanukkah may seem hollow at this incredibly difficult moment.

The story of Hanukkah reminds us that even in darkness, we can find the light. We stand alongside our Jewish communities and pray for peace and unity across the world, while sending our deepest condolences to those who have lost loved ones 🤍🕎

[Nick Robinson @bbcnickrobinson]

The news from Bondi beach is grim.
For many it will have terrible echoes of the massacres on October 7th.
For Jews living here it will feel painfully close to the murders at a synagogue in Manchester.
It is a reminder - if one was needed - that Jews all over the world now live in fear.
If you struggle to understand that fear - you may not have any Jewish family or friends as it is a very small community - I urge you to think of the impact on the Muslim and, indeed, the wider community of the Christchurch mosque attack in New Zealand.
Tonight Jews everywhere will light candles to mark the start of the festival of lights - Hanukkah. Few will feel able to
celebrate. Many will be worrying about what might happen next.

[Stop The Hate UK @StopTheHate_UK]

We are appalled by this violent attack on a young Jewish child age 8.

The 33 year old attacker kicked, punched and tried to stab him.

We hope the boy recovers quickly.

And we hope you will join us in speaking up against this horrendous antisemitic attack.
