Many Jewish leaders have urged their communities to react with defiance.
“Show we are not cowed. As Jews we always rebuild. We always recover, we always return stronger,” Rabbi Daniel Walker said after the attack on his synagogue.
Jonathan Wittenberg, senior rabbi of the Masorti strand of modern-traditional Judaism, was also positive: “Judaism is a deeply resilient religion.”
But many Jews have been asking what future they have in the UK when the solutions they say they are offered do not address what they see as the root cause of antisemitism.
“My younger one said ‘Do you think we should move?'” Amanda says. “But I don’t think we could. I feel really sad and unsettled and both my daughters do.”
In north Manchester, Raphi Bloom’s answer is definitive: “We’re not going anywhere, we’re not Jews with trembling knees, we are proud Mancunian Jews.”
Dave Rich of the CST told the BBC that since Thursday’s attack they had seen a large number of Jewish people coming to their website to become volunteers. “That’s not a sign of running away,” he says.
In Leeds, Rabbi Albert Chait told his congregation on social media that “this Shabbat you have every excuse not to go [to synagogue], but you have also every excuse to go. Don’t let them win.”
One mother told the BBC that when her young daughter asked her if it was still safe for Jews to live in the UK, she reminded her of an old Hebrew song.
“The whole world is a very narrow bridge, and the main thing is to have no fear at all.”
