"“We stand with all those in Israel-#Palestine seeking to bring about a just and lasting peace. We share in their call for an end to the bombing; an end to the siege; and the safe release of the hostages.”
The rabbis' intervention appears to hint at growing frustration and impatience within #British #Jewish communities towards the staunchly pro-#Israel stance and claims to leadership of conservative Jewish institutions such as the Board of Deputies.
Signatories of the letter include prominent figures within both Reform Judaism and Liberal #Judaism."
