Statement regarding an incident in Glossop

Derbyshire Jewish Community is deeply concerned by the antisemitic attack in Australia at Bondi Beach, in which Jewish people were murdered while peacefully celebrating the festival of Chanukah with their friends and families. Although this attack took place overseas, incidents of antisemitic violence have a direct impact on Jewish communities everywhere. In the UK, particularly following incidents such as the Manchester Yom Kippur attack, events like this reinforce the sense of vulnerability...

Mitzvah Day 2025 was marked by a month-long programme of volunteering by members of the Derbyshire Jewish Community in support of Joybank Sheffield. Volunteers gave their time to help a community food bank supporting individuals and families facing food insecurity. We were also joined by members of Seven Hills Synagogue, highlighting the strength of collaboration and the impact of sustained acts of kindness.
