Statement from Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis

from X (formerly Twitter)
We have emerged from two days of Jewish holidays this evening to be confronted by the unimaginable scale and unprecedented brutality of the terrorist attacks on innocent civilians across Israel. We are shocked and devastated by the inhumanity of the mass murder, kidnapping and purposeful desecration of Jewish life. We pray for a speedy recovery for the injured, and we mourn alongside the thousands of families grieving the loss of loved ones and those left agonising over what will become of the captured. The loss of every innocent life is a tragedy regardless of where it is taken and from the depths of our hearts we turn Heavenwards and pray: May He who makes peace in high places bring peace to us and to all Israel. Amen.
