For years, Yachad has argued that the UK should distinguish between Israel and the settlements. We have now written to Minister Falconer to show that many British Jews and British Israelis support a ban on trade with Israeli settlements. Add your name yachad.org.uk/yachad-campa...

We're recruiting a Youth Representative to join our board. The deadline for applications is Wednesday 26th August. Full details below yachad.org.uk/yachad-vacan...

1/ Dozens of high ranking officials in Israel, including former security chiefs & ex-PMs have called on Netanyahu to act against Jewish terror in the West Bank. They point out that the extent of violence against Palestinians is being downplayed & no action taken. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

1/6 Yesterday’s 'Great Israeli Real Estate Event' at Edgware United Synagogue prompted protests. Attempts to portray those protests as simply hostility towards Jews are wrong and risk undermining the very real fight against antisemitism that our community is facing.

1/4 Incredibly important by @melanie_ward showing over recent years 32 UK registered charities have sent £28 million to illegal West Bank settlements. Yesterday the UK gov said it would meet with the Charity Commission to discuss. But this should be just the beginning. bsky.app/profile/mela...

Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper sets out what the UK government is settler violence. The international community cannot condemn settlement expansion in words while allowing it to continue in practice. These actions are a meaningful step beyond rhetoric.

We welcome today’s announcement that the UK government will be taking action, including sanctions, on settler violence. We urge the government to continue working with international allies to stop ongoing annexation and to ensure a political resolution remains possible.

Ben Gvir is the product of a system that has made his conduct permissible. The actions of those officers in the video — tightening restraints in his presence, pushing detainees down at his feet — reflect a culture shaped from the top. Full statement here: yachad.org.uk/statement-on...

Last few tickets remaining for our 2026 fundraiser. Book now at yachad.org.uk/May2026

1/ Horrific news of a stabbing in Golders Green, which follows a series of violent attacks on the Jewish community in recent months. We pray for the recovery of those injured. Our community is understandably afraid. We need actions to ensure Jewish people are safe & feel safe.

1/ “What the government of Israel does reflects on us as Jews and reflects on our Judaism. Therefore, it is our Jewish obligation to be in dialogue with that in some way.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

1/ Today is Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israel’s 78th Independence Day. For many people across Israel-Palestine this has been a particularly complex day in recent years. Jewish statehood is a cause for celebration, but Palestinian statehood seems to be getting further away.

There has been a significant surge in violent antisemitism in the UK, with further attacks over the weekend. Everyone must take a stance against this hatred. Jewish people have the right to feel safe.

Today is the eve of Yom HaShoah - when we remember the 6 million Jews who were murdered during the Holocaust. See this post for details on the Yom Hashoah UK commemoration ceremony. We must keep the stories of survivors alive & ensure that never again means never again

Chag Pesach Sameach from Yachad. For many, this festival comes against a backdrop of deep anxiety and concern about ongoing war and Jewish life in the UK. Yet Pesach offers a powerful reminder that a better future is possible. Wishing you a meaningful and peaceful Pesach.

Our Statement on Israel's New Death Penalty Law. Full statement here: yachad.org.uk/statement-on...

We are appalled by the arson attack on Hatzola ambulances in Golders Green. As police investigate it as an antisemitic hate crime, we must be clear that antisemitism and hatred have no place in our society. Our full statement: yachad.org.uk/statement-on...

Our statement on Sunday's march. In solidarity with the Chief Executive Rabbis of Progressive Judaism. yachad.org.uk/statement-on...

Our statement on the UK government's announcement regarding the possible recognition of Palestine.

The words and actions of the Israeli government have made their intentions clear. This war must end. Staying silent in the face of the human suffering in Gaza is an affront to our Jewish values. We demand action is taken to stop this immediately.

Progressive Jewish clergy bodies call on Board of Deputies to reconsider sanctions on 36 deputies who spoke against Gaza war, based on “…vital values of moral conscience, freedom of speech, and respectful debate within our tradition.” Full statement: www.liberaljudaism.org/2025/07/cler...

Gazans desperately trying to reach aid are being shot dead. On the ground hungry Palestinians are being killed. Underground the hostages are suffocating. This isn’t security, it’s politics. As we wait for politicians to end this, people are dying for nothing. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Our statement on Iranian and Israeli missile strikes, on 15 June 2025. yachad.org.uk/statement-on...

We wholeheartedly support the UK government decision to sanction extremist ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich. Last year hundreds of British Jews & Israelis in the UK wrote to the British PM calling for sanctions against these ministers. Our statement: yachad.org.uk/statement-on...

There’s still time to sign our letter to the Prime Minister - the government needs to know that many British Jews support an end to the the horrific war in Gaza & want an immediate return of all hostages. Please sign & share: yachad.org.uk/StarmerLetter

If you want to make it known that many members of the Jewish community are horrified by the continuation of war, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza & the abandonment of the hostages sign this letter. Your voice does not have to go unreported and unheard 👇🏼 yachad.org.uk/StarmerLetter

600 days in captivity. A number that no one could have ever imagined. We stand with the families of the 58 remaining hostages in calling for a ceasefire that will bring home all of their loved ones and end the war.

Horrific news to wake up to this morning- a deadly shooting took place near the Jewish Museum in DC, with two murdered. Our thoughts are with their loved ones & all those affected. Jewish communities shouldn’t have to live in fear. There’s absolutely no justification for this.

Breaking the Silence has always been a key partner of ours. They’ve helped us educate on the reality of occupation, be it through tours in the West Bank or events in the UK. We’re grateful for their constant support. If you can please donate & support: www.drove.com/campaign/67d...

#Jewish teaching urges us to ‘seek peace’, ‘pursue justice’, and defend the vulnerable and oppressed. The call of British Rabbis to the British government: ‘Save their soul from death, keep them alive in famine’ (Psalm 33:19) #AidToGazaNow @Yachad.bsky.social

British rabbis in an important call to the UK government: "...there are religious leaders here who reject the cruelty of the denial of food and humanitarian aid to Gaza as a tool of warfare: and who are distraught at the desertion of the hostages there.” www.thejc.com/news/uk/uk-r...

Really pleased to be speaking at this demo on Sunday, 3pm in Whitehall. Please join us to show your solidarity with Israelis protesting against the war and in support of democracy👇🏽

Today Israel marks 77 years of independence. Some thoughts on Yom Ha’atzmaut, in hopes of true freedom for all.
