Britain’s Jewish community will not be “cowed” or “intimidated” following the overnight arson attack in London, the Chief Rabbi has insisted.

Sir Ephraim Mirvis said while the incident had left people shocked and saddened, the community will continue “standing tall” and living as “proud British citizens”.
