And I wonder if you have some advice about how to muster the strength and courage to be able to do that.
8:49
And you're absolutely right.
8:50
Confronting God, standing before Him, apologizing.
8:53
It's a regular part of our daily prayers and how much more so at this time of the year.
8:58
We do need to muster up the courage and the bravery to make the call, pay the visit, raise the subject.
9:06
And my experience is that those on the receiving end will be so grateful.
9:10
They'll be magnanimous.
11:26
And listening, of course, is absolutely important, but how do we engage across these differences? And where do we draw the line to say, listen, that causes harm to the Jewish people or to Israel.
66:15
Is that something that's clearly on the minds of so many Jewish people in the UK right now? Are people taking steps not to be easily identified as Jewish in public?
66:27
Lovely to speak to you, Wolf.
66:29
We are deeply concerned.
66:31
These are very troubling times.
66:33
And the point that we are reinforcing all the time is these are troubling times not just for the Jews of the UK, but for the entire UK.
66:42
And there has been a sustained attack on Jewish buildings and on Jewish people.
66:50
Starting on Yom Kippur, our holy day, 2nd of October last year, when a terrorist broke into the compound of the Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester and murdered two people who had come to pray, together with injuring many others.
69:24
Is this a response, do you believe, to this latest attack? And is it enough?
