Synagogue attack alarms UK Jews already dealing with rising antisemitism
The attack on Yom Kippur killed two and heightened fears amid a doubling of antisemitic incidents in the UK, according to the Community Security Trust.
- On Thursday, October 2, 2025, a terrorist attack struck Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Crumpsall, north Manchester during Yom Kippur, killing two people and alarming the local Jewish community.
- Since the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas, antisemitic incidents in the UK surged, with 2024 cases more than double those two years earlier and last year the second highest in modern times.
- Hours after the attack, cars drove past with Palestinian flags and men with balaclavas muttered "Jews", while the Community Security Trust urged Jews not to congregate and to keep doors closed.
- Vicky said `I'm Jewish and absolutely terrified`, and Dina planned to tell her sons to stop wearing kippot, as Britain's police announced increased patrols supported by last year's �70 million security fund.
- Less than a week before the two-year anniversary of October 7, 2023, the attack struck Manchester, home to more than 28,000 Jewish residents in 2021, where Alex said `Everyone knows everyone` and the Gaza war has worsened resentment.
