In a London synagogue, a Jewish David stands up to the Green Party’s Goliath - opinion. Goliath, the metaphorical champion, challenged the Jewish community daily, but it was David, a small North London synagogue, who had enough of the abuse and took action. The catalyst for this action was the Green Party’s motion to equate Zionism with racism, a motion that threatened the safety and security of the Jewish community.
Highgate United Synagogue, a small synagogue in North London, stood firm against this attack and sent a clear message to both the antisemitic forces and the community leaders who were too accommodating.
