The annual AJEX parade, which this year will also be marking 90 years since the Battle of Cable Street, is a remarkable event that everyone in our community should join if they can.

It is a time when we recognise and commemorate the contribution that British Jews have made to the security and freedom of our country.

This includes the need for the @UN to take a more active role in confronting Jew hatred.

.@chiefrabbi Mirvis and WJC staff met with @UKUN_NewYork, Ambassador @SarahMacFCDO to press for concrete action against antisemitism.

They also raised concerns about the @UN's disproportionate focus on Israel, including at the Human Rights Council, and how hostile rhetoric about Israel fuels hatred and affects Jewish communities.
