I dare you to look into the eyes of a Gazan child and tell her that those massacres of Jewish children and of others made her life better. To the contrary, they completely destroyed her life opportunities.

Pure nihilism from this speaker.

It’s not a short video, but one that everyone should watch. This is Rachel Goldberg, the mother of Hersh Goldberg Polin, one of the hostages held in Gaza. What a powerful speech. What a powerful woman

חשוב להדהד את זה היום יותר מתמיד כי במלחמה הזו לראשונה הוקם בישראל חמ״ל יהודי ערבי. החמ״ל הזה פועל מרהט לסייע למשפחות יהודיות וערביות מהדרום שנפגעו בארועים. התרומות לפעילות נאספות מערבים ומיהודים, המתנדבות והמתנדבים מגיעים מהחברה היהודית והערבית, והסיוע כמובן, לכל מי שנפגע.

This is fantastic news. Hugely well deserved.

[5 Essex Pupillages @Pupillages]

Congratulations Frankie! This takes @5essexcourt to five silks, 80% of them female - as far as we know, the highest ratio at the Bar.

[Samantha Leek @samleek1]

@Pupillages @5essexcourt Best news!

[Conor Monighan @ConorMonighan]

As part of re-designing @5essexcourt's mini-@Pupillages programme, I have been trying to identify organisations which improve access the Bar.
Thought I would share the results for others... #DiversityandInclusion #barrister 🧵

[Rory Stewart @RoryStewartUK]

So so lovely

[Samantha Leek @samleek1]

@Willywoska @stephenpollard I absolutely loved it.

[Samantha Leek @samleek1]

@RupertMyers But not surprising after telling them we didn’t want them.

[Samantha Leek @samleek1]

Well this is a surprise after telling EU citizens we didn’t want them.

[Samantha Leek @samleek1]

@AdamWagner1 Yes!!! It’s terrible.

[Samantha Leek @samleek1]

@finegoulden I recognise that scene

[Samantha Leek @samleek1]

@DinahRoseQC Presumably they would not want DRQC representing someone who they thought might be guilty either.

[Samantha Leek @samleek1]

Absolutely.

If you can't do your job without bullying people then you can't do your job.

Baruch Dayan Ha’Emet. It with the deepest sadness that we regret to inform you that Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks (HaRav Ya’akov Zvi ben David Arieh z’’l) passed away early this morning, Saturday 7th November 2020 (Shabbat Kodesh 20th MarCheshvan 5781).
