Hanukkah Wishes Overshadowed by Bigotry

Hanukkah Wishes Overshadowed by Bigotry

Keshet UK, the largest charity representing LGBTQIA+ people in the country, found that its Hanukkah wishes were overshadowed by anti-Semitic terror attacks in Australia. The charity changed its logo to a black and white rendering, to indicate mourning and relayed a message from the Community Security Trust, which monitors and campaigns against anti-Jewish prejudice. The statement read "Chanukah is a Jewish festival that celebrates light and religious freedom and it is abhorrent that such violence was directed at a moment of communal joy. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and the Australian Jewish community at this awful time. CST will continue to work closely with police, government and community partners to protect Jewish life in this country, including discussions this morning to increase security and policing for Chanukah events in the UK over the next eight days."
