00:00Earlier today on Yom Kippur, the holiest day for the Jewish community, a vile individual

00:08committed a terrorist attack that attacked Jews because they are Jews and attacked Britain

00:16because of our values.

00:19So many Jewish families first came to this country as a place of refuge, fleeing the

00:25greatest evil ever inflicted on a people and Britain welcomed them.

00:31Communities like the one attacked in Manchester provided safety, but also the security that

00:38comes from a promise that this is a country that stands up to hatred and that we don't

00:45just provide refuge, we provide a home.

00:50For so many Jewish families, that is the story of Britain.

00:56But Britain is also a country where Jewish buildings, synagogues, even schools require round-the-clock

01:04protection, where dedicated specialist security is necessary because of the daily threat of

01:11anti-Semitic hatred.
