It’s the eve of Shavuot, one of the holiest days in the Jewish calendar. Jewish organisations and Synagogues all over London are warning Jews and especially children from potential antisemitic acts against them. https://t.co/vH0ltwRzp1

As Israeli families gather to celebrate the festival of Shavuot, terrorists in Gaza continue to fire rockets toward them in southern Israel. We will defend our people. https://t.co/NL2VhyfOJh

More 'Drives for Palestine' scheduled tonight in North London. The beginning of Shavuot where many Jews will be walking to synagogue, and around all night (On Shavuot you are meant to study through the night and many walk from study sessions throughout). What could go wrong?

ופרש עלינו סכת שלומך – “May You spread over us Your canopy of peace” As Shavuot begins, we pray for peace, an end to the purposeful targeting of millions of innocent Israelis and a time when all innocent people, wherever they are, can live without fear. #NoToRocketsYesToPeace https://t.co/ReeZ97BmUG

Happy Shavuot to all! We hope that everyone is able to celebrate together with their families. Some hopeful Summer days are ahead of us with the easing of restrictions so some long awaited reunions are imminent. Chag same’ach! 🎊 #KosherLife #KosherLondon https://t.co/rhJMAPdP8x

So just an ordinary Sunday for the UK Jewish community. A nice build up to our festival of Shavuot. Well these are incontrovertible facts: we will NOT be intimidated. We see these protests for what they are: attacks against Jews & our way of life and we will not be defeated (end)

Chag same’ach! On the brink of further easing of restrictions, days of unity lie ahead. We hope that everyone is able to spend some time with family and loved ones this Shavuot! 💛 #Shavuot #JewishCatering https://t.co/UxrB7BdHxU
