Jewish Family Ends 400 Years in Britain as Antisemitism Drives Them to Israel

Jun 2, 2026·1 min read

ITV News filmed Baruch and his wife Daniella in Golders Green on June 1 as they prepared to leave Britain for Israel.

Baruch, an NHS doctor, says his Jewish family has lived in England since the time of Oliver Cromwell. His parents and five sisters have already made aliyah. He is now the last one left, ending a family line in Britain that lasted roughly 400 years.

Baruch says he is regularly shouted at in the street while wearing a kippah, told to “go back to where he came from,” and was once threatened from a passing car by someone who said they would throw acid in his face simply because he was visibly Jewish.

Golders Green is supposed to be one of London’s safest places for Jews to live openly. Instead, after stabbings, arson attacks, Nazi salutes, public abuse and assaults on Hebrew speakers, Jewish families are asking whether Britain still has a future for them.

A society does not lose its Jews overnight. It loses them when Jews start believing nobody will protect them.
