New data from the Board of Deputies has shown that there have now been more than 1,000 deaths in our British Jewish community linked to coronavirus.

Liberal Judaism today joins with the whole community in marking this sombre milestone.

Chief Executive Officer Rabbi Charley Baginsky said: “It’s easy to forget as the world eases itself into a new reality of living with Covid, that people are still dying.

“Reaching this figure is a humbling reminder of all those we have lost, how hard our community – alongside every other one – has been hit and also the continuing impact this virus has on our lives.”
