Committee chairman Keith Vaz said
the Labour leader had fully denounced
anti-Semitism within the party, but
Mirvis said he shared the concerns of
many Jews that anti-Semitism is not
being taken seriously enough under
Corbyns leadership.
Mirvis added that Ken Livingstones
comments about Hitler being a Zionist
were anti-Semitic, saying: This is not
the first time hes started to talk about
the Holocaust when asked about Jewish

Corbyn hecklers
legal challenge
THE MAN who heckled Jeremy
Corbyn at last years Labour
Friends of Israel event has
mounted a legal challenge to
remove him from the ballot following the leadership bid by
MP Owen Smith.
Jewish donor and former parliamentary candidate Michael
Foster, whose family is reported
to have donated 400,000 to
Labours general election campaign, wants the Labour leader
to have to secure the support of
51 MPs, the minimum needed
for any challenger.
Labours national executive
committee voted by 18 votes to
14 that, as incumbent, Corbyn
did not need to garner enough
votes to meet the threshold.
Speaking on Radio 4s Today
programme, Foster said it was
a question of interpretation
of the rules, whether they give
the incumbent the right to
stand without the relevant
nominations.
Several lawyers, including
Michael Mansfield QC, have
concluded that Corbyn should
be automatically on the ballot,
saying: The rules are unambiguous.
Last year, after Corbyn addressed Labour Friends of Israel
supporters at a conference
fringe meeting in Brighton,
Foster shouted: Say the word
Israel, say the word Israel.

IN FOCUS: TERROR ATTACK IN NICE
A PROMENADE OF
TERROR AND TEARS
BY LISA
SANDERS
THE ISRAELI city of Netanya showed
solidarity with Nice this week as thousands gathered to commemorate the
victims of the horrific terror attack that
left 85 people dead.
Netanyas mayor, Miriam Fierberg,
said: Just days ago we celebrated
Bastille Day here, in this square. We
never imagined that wed be back here
under these circumstances. Now we
mourn alongside our twin city.
Netanya residents are only too aware
that their city has also endured numerous terror attacks, notably the Park Hotel
bombing in 2002 which claimed 30 lives.
Last month alert pedestrians thwarted a
stabbing attack in the citys busy market.
The French ambassador to Israel,
Patrick Mizonab, led the crowd in
a minutes silence. Afterwards, he
praised Israels stoicism: The choices
before us are very clear to surrender or
to resist. I recognise more than ever the
desire for life and freedom and not even
the slightest desire to surrender.
We were back there [in Nice] two
weeks ago, for a holiday, said Nicole
Hasson, who attended the rally with
her husband Serge and their grandson.
Actually we feel angry about the
tragedy. We think the police could
have done something about it.
Nearby, two teenage girls sobbed
and typed furiously into their mobile
phones. Stella and Ludivine emigrated
to Netanya 10 months ago from Nice.
Many friends and relatives still live in
Nice.
Thank God, everyone is okay, Stella
said. She is sixteen, and attends a
French-speaking boarding school in
Haifa, where she is studying for her
Bagrut matriculation. Ludivine is looking
for a job. Maybe in a flower shop, I
dont know. Its hard.
Knesset Member Ayoub Kara reminded the crowd: We are all Israel.
We are all Nice. We are all Netanya.
Kara, a member of the Druze community, is a Likud party member and serves
as deputy minister for regional cooperation. Im not Jewish, but I care just
as deeply for the Jewish people as if
I was Jewish, he told the crowd, to loud
appreciative applause.
He continued: People in the west
live innocently, receiving refugees from
the Arab world who then carry out attacks mainly against the French people. The unfortunate fact that Arab
leaders did not condemn terrorism is
criminal and brutal.
Martine Vaknin, deputy mayor of
Nice, was on holiday in Netanya when
the tragedy struck. Im crying for my
city, for the children of my city, she
said. Netanya understands what Nice
is going through.
A French singer led the crowd in
emotional renditions of the two national anthems, the Marseillaise and the
Hatikva.
Meanwhile,
news emerged
this week of how
four 18-year-old
Jewish women
had a lucky escape during last
Thursdays terror
attack.
The
group,
teaching assistants from Gan
Yisrael Nursery,
were also watching the display
and crossed the
road just seconds
before the truck sped through.
They were crying and completely
traumatised after seeing so many bodies
mangled; they could not speak, said
Esther, from the local Chabad, who did
not want to give her surname. It was a

Tenth anniversary tribute to Alan Senitt WJR backing plan for refugees
LORD SACKS joined members of Alan Senitts
family in paying tribute to the murdered former student leader at a moving event to mark
the 10th anniversary of his passing, writes
Justin Cohen.
The Chief Rabbi Emeritus said the one-time
BBYO president and UJS chair would have
been one of the great leaders of our time
had his life not been so cruelly cut short at the
age of 27 during a visit to Washington to work
on a presidential campaign.
Recalling his leadership of the Coexistence
Trust, which worked to unite Jews and Muslims to fight hate, he said in a video message:
He was someone who lived by his ideals and
changed the world for the better. I want to
shed a tear for what might have been and
give thanks for what was.
One of the most inspiring young people
of his generation, it was a privilege to know
him and we will always cherish his memory.
Seven of the past 10 UJS presidents
attended the memorial event at JW3, in addition to MP Luciana Berger and many of the
other young leaders who were inspired by
Alan. The event was organised by Nicki
Cohen, a close friend of Alans and trustee of
A LEADING JEWISH charity has backed a government programme allowing faith groups to sponsor Syrian refugees coming to Britain.
World Jewish Relief welcomed the groundbreaking Home Office announcement this week,
as the new Home Secretary Amber Rudd said it
would bring communities together to support
these often traumatised and vulnerable families.
Sponsors will provide housing for the family and
help them integrate into UK life, access medical and
social services, arrange English tuition and support
them towards employment and self-sufficiency.
Interest is expected to be high among Jewish
communities, after an outpouring of sympathy in
recent years, with many religious Jewish leaders seeing echoes of Jews own experience as refugees.
Sponsoring organisations, which can be registered charities or community interest companies,
must show the consent of the relevant local authority
and a comprehensive plan for resettlement to apply.
WJR has said it hopes to help at least 1,000 of
the 20,000 Syrian refugees expected to arrive in
the UK by 2020. It already helps distribute aid to
refugee camps in Greece and Turkey, and started
helping the first refugees to find work in Bradford.
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby joined
WJR in welcoming the Full Community Sponsorship scheme, saying it was a privilege to welcome
a family to live in the Lambeth Palace grounds.
Community organisations join campaign against online hatred Ex-UJS chair elected JLM director
KEY COMMUNITY bodies have joined a
campaign to tackle online hatred, including anti-Semitism.
Reclaim the Internet is an initiative to
fight abuse on the web, launched by
Labour MP Yvette Cooper during a conference on Monday.
It has gained the backing of the Community Security Trust, which said it was
very happy to lend our expertise at its
opening panel event.
It added: The social media organisations are moving in the right direction, but
overall the responses remain inconsistent
and inadequate, especially regarding mass
campaigns against individuals.
The initiative has also been backed by
the Holocaust Educational Trust. Its chief
executive Karen Pollock said: All too
often, social media is used to spread all
forms of hate, including anti-Semitism... It
is our duty to speak out and stamp out the

It may be one of the less popular skiing
locations, but Andorra is also much
cheaper than its better-known counterparts and off-season that is, before September and after April it still
offers great snow.
Skiing is traditionally believed to be
an expensive sport, but here it really
doesnt need to break the bank.
Granted, so ski passes may be the
same wherever you go, but food,
drinks and hotels carry a much less
eye-watering price tag. Oh, and its
tax-free, meaning alcohol is a bargain; just perfect for the aprs ski.
I genuinely didnt think budget ski
trips were a possibility before I went to
this little province between Spain and
France, admits Clarke.
The ski passes have gone up in the
past couple of years but they now
cover a vast area, meaning you
wouldnt really need to ski the same
slope twice. Theres no duty-free tax in
Andorra so the supermarkets are
cheap; this combined with plenty of
Airbnb options means spending
money can be kept to a minimum.

For starters, getting to Copenhagen is
inexpensive, with the average return
flight from London in June at 22.
Then when you arrive, the brilliant
Copenhagen Card gives free admission to more than 70 museums and attractions, plus free public transport
and restaurant discounts. Or hire a
bike and cycle round the city.
There is Michelin dining, but cheaper
alternatives too. Street food is varied
and high quality. And you can rent an
apartment instead of a hotel.
"The Danish capital's reputation for
being super expensive isn't entirely deserved. With just a bit of planning it's really very easy to get a premium stay
for much less than the usual tourist
hotspots, explains WeSwap brand
manager Stephanie Meyer-Scott.
This has a lot to do with the Danes'
focus on quality; you'd be hard
pressed to find a bad meal or bad accommodation. There are lots of brilliant boutique hotels, many available
for 60 a night or less. Failing that, the
Airbnb options in Copenhagen are
some of the most stylish in Europe. And
food is exceptional. If you want to try
the famous New Nordic cuisine but
dont want to go for the super pricey
options like Michelin-starred noma or
Geranium, try Oliver and the Black Circus or Almanak in the Standard at Nyhavn, which both serve delicious food
for more reasonable prices. Copenhagen has probably got one of the
best quality-to-price ratios of any city."

THE 3,000-MILE
COMMUTE
Forget your crowded early-morning train ride. For some people, travelling
to and from work presents a whole new challenge, as Lisa Sanders reports
HEATHROW AIRPORT, on a typical Thursday
night: its eerily quiet at the boarding gate for
the 22:40 British Airways flight to Tel Aviv. A
scattering of Israeli tourists are heading home
with souvenir bags from Harrods and Primark.
But most of the travellers wear the bored,
glazed expressions of Tube passengers.
Apart from announcements over the loudspeaker, the only sounds are the occasional rustle of a newspaper or the soft chimes of laptops
and iPads being put to bed for the night.
Nobody speaks, confirms David, a regular
on this Thursday-night red eye flight to Tel
Aviv. If you see someone you recognise you
just nod. But you try not to make eye contact.
Once Im on the plane I tell the crew not to
disturb me with food. I try to sleep the whole
time on the plane.
David (not his real name) is a senior consultant in the NHS. Come Monday morning, after a
weekend at home with his family, hell see many
of his fellow passengers at Ben Gurion checking
in for the return flight.
Hes one of an extraordinary number of people who have made aliyah but kept their jobs in
the UK. We begin our interview via Whatsapp,
while hes still on the Heathrow Express. An hour
later, hes at his London pad.
Its workable, he insists. When Im here I
see my patients. Im in the hospital from 7am
until 5pm; then I see private patients from 5pm
until 8pm. Thats it, from Monday morning until
Thursday night. Theres no concept of going
home. Im here to work and thats it.
David, his wife and three children emigrated
to Raanana from north London seven years ago.
From the outset, the family decided David
would commute to London, staying with rela-
The waiting game passengers on the red-eye to Tel Aviv prepare to board a night flight
She made aliyah two years ago with her husband and three children. In a way its great, because I can keep my job, my career, and I get to
stay in proper contact with my friends and my
parents, she says.
At the same time, I am around for my kids; it
means I do know what theyre up to on a dayto-day basis.
And yes, it is exhausting. I get home on Friday morning and go to bed for an hour, then I
get up and start cooking for Shabbat.
Before she goes away, she leaves husband
Johnny with strict instructions as to the content
of the fridge, the schedule for the week, carpool
arrangements and so on.
It doesnt always go smoothly. As Nagler says,
Ill get back and be like, why didnt you finish
the chicken I left for you? and hell say, oh, we
had sushi or pizza instead.
After 13 years Al Ha Kav, Verstandig gave
up the long-distance commute and started a
property business in Israel.
I was missing out on home life, he says. I
wanted to get a little bit in before it was too
late. Also, the airlines were getting more expensive. Even with the gold and silver and diamond
programmes. It was getting harder and harder.
Back to David. I had an arrangement with a
bloke called Phil for a year, he tells me.
BA offered free upgrades to the gold lounge
if you registered as a couple. As a commuter,
you spend a lot of time looking for free upgrades. So we registered as a couple.
When hes in London, David gets up at 5am
to Skype his children back in Raanana. They
learn mishnah every day with him, via Skype.
Back at home in Israel, Sundays are devoted
to tasks like meetings at school or other necessities. On Sunday nights, he cooks family dinner.
The reality is I see my kids more now than I
would if I was working in the same country, he
says. You just have to accept youre not there
for the minor crises.
They phone me, but its difficult. I cant give
support, only sympathy. By the time I get back,
its all blown over.
Sea, sun and sand the allure of Israel is a big factor for those who decide to live there, work here

DONT PONTIFICATE
ABOUT SCHECHITA
Jill Tregenza demonstrates the folly of pontificating on a matter of which one has no
knowledge or experience (Jewish News,
letters, 14 July 2016). Having witnessed
schechita and stunning/captive bolt
slaughter, I can assure Ms Tregenza the former is far kinder to the animal being killed.
In schechita, the animals throat is cut
with a razor-like knife, which severs nerves,
arteries, veins and windpipe in one stroke.
As anyone who has been cut with a sharp
knife will know, it takes several seconds for
pain to be felt. The effect of schechita is to
render the animal unconscious in about 30
seconds. Discomfort is minimal.
For those who consider pre-stunning to
be more humane than schechita, I refer
them to the website Animal Aid; The
Humane Slaughter Myth. If, after reading it,
they still think schechita is more barbaric,
I suggest they embrace vegetarianism.

these seats had significant majorities. In a referendum, where every vote counts equally, the
failure of its leadership was harshly revealed.
On issues of particular interest to the Jewish
community, Corbyn and McDonnell have made
no effort to go beyond cursory recognition of our
existence. Yes, they have met a few community
leaders, but little was achieved in establishing a
possible framework in building on the needs of
minorities. The questions of Israel is a the subject
Corbyn and McDonnell cannot stomach, as they
have utterly failed to explain how Israel differs
from undesirable regimes in the region. They see
Israel not as an established democracy in the
Middle East. Hence an invitation from the Israel
Labour Party to visit the country was declined.
At the Home Affairs Select Committee on
Anti-Semitism, Corbyns responses were evasive
and revealed, if anything, a considerable ignorance of the scale of our Jewish community and
of the issues which cause anxiety amongst this
generation whether at home, in business or in
the universities.
A clue to Corbyn and McDonnell's attitude is
revealed by a series of letters written in 20102013, just released by a freedom of information
request. In them, Corbyn described some of the
Jewish states politicians as criminals who
should be banned from Britain. He also claimed
that Israel treats Palestinians with disdain and
that its victimisation of the people of east
Jerusalem is an abomination.
In conversations with a number of Christian
leaders, they expressed surprise that Labour
had made little effort to interest the wider
community here on the issues of anti-Semitism.
They also spoke strongly of the partys minimum support for the Christian minorities who
are actively persecuted in some 50 countries,
including Syria, Somalia and Sudan. In 2003
there were 1.5 million Christians in Iraq, today
a few thousands in Mosul, one of the oldest
Christian communities in the world.
Away from Corbyn and McDonnell there are a
number of supportive Labour members in key
positions. I refer not only to MPs who will challenge the duo but also, significantly, Sadiq Khan,
the mayor of London. In so many way he has provided a consistent message confronting racism
with an unambiguous message to Jews: Any attack on the Jewish community should be considered an attack on all of Londons communities
and everything we stand for. A visit by the
mayor to Israel is now on the agenda.
The author Will Self wrote: The astonishing
thing about Corbyn is hes managing to cock
things up in his own terms." Ultimately, Corbyn
will be dealt with at the ballot box. But vitally all
who care for our democratic process would do
well to monitor Labours emerging policies. Critically in the case of McDonnell an even sharper
scrutiny on his words and actions is advised.
Eric Moonman
Former Labour Party MP
as effective as Begin. His critics maintain he cannot be trusted. They say he is capable of whimsically changing his policies to play to every gallery.
Maybe so. However, I doubt anyone could
find any public policy statement Trump has
made that is anti-Israel or anti-Semitic. On that,
he is pretty consistent.
So why are so many American Jews opposed
to Trump? I suggest its because almost endemically much of American Jewry is childishly liberal.
It believes, based on past persecution elsewhere,
that Jews must be allied with every civil rights or
anti-racist movement going. It is blindly addicted
to the wish-washy Democratic Party, despite
its production of highly unsympathetic personalities such as Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama.
It refuses to come to terms with the fact that the
most pernicious anti-Semites of today come from
the political left, and the Islamic extremists with
whom it has forged the unholiest alliance.
Although in most trends and fashions, America
tends to lead Britain, in the area of naive liberalism, Anglo-Jewry has grown up first and moved
rightwards. For many reasons. First, the sheer
hostility of former or current Labour personalities
such as Ken Livingstone, George Galloway and
Jeremy Corbyn. Second, the horrendously antiSemitic boycott, divestment and sanctions movement and the relentless hostility towards Israel
and Jews at universities, much of which finds support within the Labour Party.

2 ORTHODOX JUDAISM
What does the
Torah say about...
Torah
for
THE CHILCOT
Today REPORT
BY RABBI ZVI
SOLOMONS
A FEW WEEKS ago we read in
the Torah portion the rules for
choosing a king. We are allowed to choose a monarch,
but the ruler is limited by law.
They are as subject to Torah
law as anyone else is.
In this country the monarch
(government) is the final arbiter of justice hence in the
UK our courts bear the
Queens crown and is not
subject to the normal limitations of law. Hence a monarch
is allowed to execute people
summarily if they are rebellious.
This law is expounded very
clearly in Maimonides Laws of
Kings and Wars:Anyone who
rebels against a king of Israel
may be executed by the
king.Even if the king orders
one of the people to go to a
particular place and the latter
tion to go out with him. In contrast, he may not lead the nation out to wage a milchemat
hareshut unless the court of
seventy one judges approves.
(Ibid, chapter far law 2).
In this context it is interesting to examine recent military
actions here and in Israel.
The Chilcot led to a very
crestfallen Tony Blair, whose
military adventure was approved by the highest court in
the land, Parliament. On another occasion Parliament
blocked a military adventure
under David Cameron in Syria.
Whatever it might have to say
about the veracity of evidence
given, the war would presumably be considered legal from a
halachic perspective. Israel, of
course, needs no justification
for a war of self-defence. The
constant attacks on her innocent citizens are sufficient justification,
and
halachic
justification of the use of extreme violence in self-defence.

Dear Bella
The answer to your question is: as soon as possible! When
a child turns 18 they are entitled to an assessment under
the Care Act 2014. This will identify any of your childs
needs that the local authority has a duty to meet.
When your child becomes an adult at 18, you are not legally
obliged to act as a primary care giver and the legal responsibility falls to the local authority.
It may be that you wish to continue to care for your child
into their adulthood, in which case you, too, are eligible for
an assessment of your needs as a carer under the Care Act
2014.
Unfortunately, all too often, parents pass away without having planned for their adult childs future. This means that
local authorities and support providers then have to rush to
find a suitable home for the person, reducing their options.
It also means the person has to cope with an overwhelming
amount of change in a short space of time, as well as a
bereavement.
It is important that your daughters case is effectively
transitioned from childrens services into adult services.
Requesting that your local authoritys adult or transitions
services complete your daughters Care Act assessment is
one way of doing this.

Dear Norma
At Jewish Deaf Association, there are various social opportunities for you, depending on your interests. Our popular lipreading classes will not only help you to get people chatting with
you again but also introduce you to new friends and new skills.
Theres also a social group, book club and a current affairs
discussion group, which has been extremely animated recently.
Have you considered volunteering? Perhaps youd like to train
to do basic hearing aid repairs and maintenance.
Were also looking for sociable people like you to spend time
chatting with older people who live in care homes. As you
clearly understand, it makes people with hearing loss feel so
much better when they have someone to chat with and its
really important to help them join in with activities to reduce
the isolation that many hard of hearing people experience.
The more you do, the more valued youll feel and, indeed, the
more valuable youll be to others.
Please come and see us Norma wed love to meet you!

ON THE MONEY
Korean street food venture On the Bab opened in April in
Covent Garden. I popped along last week to try it out.
With branches in Shoreditch and
Marylebone, and another due to open
near St Pauls, this concept looks
set to stake a firm claim on the
growing small plates dining
trend. Bab is the Korean word for
rice, and there are lots of dishes
served with it. We enjoyed Korean
fried chicken with chopped peanuts,
marinated Korean beef on rice, broccoli with Korean
spicy mayo and deep fried arancini rice balls with cheese
and tomato. Dishes are keenly priced, service is fast and
the food is seriously tasty -- perfect for a quick pitstop.
