Jewish schools in London shut down amid security fears October 12, 2023 at 11:53PM

Several Jewish schools in London have decided to remain closed on Friday due to security concerns amid the conflict in Israel. The closures come after British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced additional funding to enhance protection for the country's Jewish communities against antisemitic attacks. The schools fear anti-Israel protests in the area. While the Community Security Trust advises that Jewish schools should remain open, the schools have taken the decision seriously.
