This week has been incredibly busy following last Sunday’s rally. Yesterday afternoon, His Majesty King Charles III visited Golders Green in a powerful show of support and solidarity. During his visit, he met with our Co-Chief Executives, Rabbis Charley Baginsky and Josh Levy. Yesterday morning, I joined other Progressive rabbis in a meeting with Sarah Mullally, the Archbishop of Canterbury. I cannot adequately convey how seismic it feels for non-Orthodox rabbis to be included in these high-level engagements. It has taken years of hard, dedicated work to reach this point, ensuring that we are all seen and represented. This Shabbat, we begin the Book of Numbers, which opens with a call to perform a census – literally, to “raise the heads” of those in the community: |

How things have changed of who gets counted! |

The verse resonates deeply this week. Here in London, and across the UK, we are finally being counted and acknowledged. This is a moment of pride for us all to share. Shabbat Shalom |
