Brent Communications

“On Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, the people of Brent stand shoulder to shoulder with the Jewish community of Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue.

“The news emerging today is deeply distressing, and our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected. To our Jewish neighbours, friends and colleagues here in Brent – and in Manchester today – you are not alone. We share your pain, we honour your faith, and we stand with you in solidarity and compassion.

“Just as our Jewish neighbours have stood with others in times of need, so too now the people of Brent stand with you. We are working closely with community leaders, synagogues and the police to ensure that people here feel safe and supported.

“Brent is proud to be a borough where people of all faiths and none live side by side. On this most sacred of Jewish days, we recommit ourselves to building a nation where hate has no home, and where everyone belongs.

“To every family marking Yom Kippur in Brent and beyond, please know that you are in our thoughts, in our prayers, and in our hearts.”

Cllr Muhammed Butt, Leader of Brent Council
