I have known few people blessed with the innate warmth and charm of Zigi Shipper BEM. He was known as a survivor and an educator but, above all, he was a true Mensch who, despite the darkness he had endured, brought incredible light to the world. May his memory be for a blessing.

It has been six months since October 7th 2023, who would have believed then that the war would not yet be over, and the hostages would still not be back home?

It was a delight to see so many people join us in Golders Green for a public Chanukah lighting last night. I'd like to thank Chabad for their continuous efforts to provide opportunities for people to celebrate Chanukah throughout the United Kingdom and the world.
