Golders Green stabbing victims named as chief rabbi prays for ‘swift and complete recovery’ (cloned)

  • Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis has appeared to name the victims in today's attack in Golders Green, north London as Nachman Moshe ben Chaya Sarah and Moshe Ben Baila.
  • "Please join me in praying for a swift and complete recovery for the victims of today's attack," he said on social media.
  • A 45-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after being Tasered for allegedly trying to stab police officers, with the incident officially declared a terrorist act.
  • The chief rabbi Sir stated that visibly Jewish people are no longer safe in the UK and called for more action beyond condemnation, a sentiment echoed by the Israeli foreign ministry.
  • The Prime Minister condemned the “utterly appalling” attack, while Sir Keir Starmer called an emergency Cobra meeting to address the situation; the attack has heightened concerns within the Jewish community, leading to calls for a 'national emergency' rally.
