Singers Hill Synagogue, Birmingham
In the beautiful setting of St. John’s, Smith Square, over 300 people representing places of worship all over the country assembled early in July for the launch of English Heritage’s campaign to arouse awareness of the importance of ongoing maintenance of their religious buildings, unlisted, as well as listed.

 ‘While some of our other supporters, have had to reduce the level of their contribution in the last couple of years, Bnai Brith, has continued its support undiminished. We are enormously grateful to Bnai Brith, who are one of our long standing supporters,’ said Stuart Taylor, Vice Chairman of the Jewish Committee for HM Forces
Stuart was speaking at the BBUK AGM: 'The Jewish population of the United Kingdom has a proud history of service in the armed forces, and it was estimated that some 60,000 Jews served in the armed forces during the Second World War, including a number of senior officers. Large numbers of Jews continued to serve in the forces until the end of national service in 1960. Today there are approximately 200 Jews in the armed forces of the UK, and together with their families they form what is now referred to as the Armed Forces Jewish Community.

“Can you remove your trousers, sir?” “But I’m a respectable elderly citizen. How dare you?” “Anyone can be a terrorist, sir.” The security official at Miami airport was right, though I assure you he found nothing unusual!
Since then terrorists have struck repeatedly. Madrid to Moscow, Mombasa to Mumbai, Manhattan (9/11) to our own Metropolis (7/7) and elsewhere. But one ancient land, UN-(re)created, has unendingly endured invading armies and indigenous suicide-bombers, Olympic murderers, “air jacking” marauders and Hamas missiles. So what does our peace-keeping UN, do about it? Finds fault. With the victim!

Manchester Jewish Museum
THE success of last year’s Heritage Days with 90 events in 10 days, many based on the theme of ‘Celebrations and Traditions’, was a record we thought we could not emulate but, despite the way in which the dates of this year’s Heritage Days fall in close proximity to the High Holy Days, almost the same number of events will be held this year in only 5 days!
