Two Jewish Victims Identified After Terror Stabbing in London; Chief Rabbi Calls for Tefillos
Two Jewish men injured in a terror stabbing in London on Wednesday have been identified, as communal leaders urge the public to daven for their recovery following the attack targeting visibly Jewish individuals.
The victims, Moshe Rand (34) and Moshe Shine (76), were attacked in broad daylight by a terrorist while on their way back from Shacharis.
The incident took place in the Golders Green area of north London, a neighborhood with a large Jewish population, where a knife-wielding assailant attacked passersby in what authorities have classified as a terror incident. The victims sustained serious injuries and were taken to the hospital for treatment.
Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, the Chief Rabbi of the United Kingdom, released the names of the injured and called for tefillos on their behalf.
“Please join me in praying for a swift and complete recovery for the victims of today’s attack: Nachman Moshe ben Chaya Sarah and Moshe ben Baila,” the Chief Rabbi wrote.
Police apprehended the suspect at the scene shortly after the attack. Authorities indicated that the assailant deliberately targeted Jewish victims, and the case is being investigated as an act of terrorism.
The stabbing comes amid heightened concern within the Jewish community in London following a rise in antisemitic incidents in recent months. Community leaders and security organizations have increased vigilance, while calling for continued tefillah and support for the victims as they recover.
Officials continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the attack.
