Shloime Rand, 34, and Norman Shine, 76, were stabbed during a knife rampage through the streets of the north London suburb last week.

Mr Rand was attacked as he left his synagogue, while Mr Shine was stabbed in the neck at a bus stop as he adjusted the traditional Jewish kippah on his head.

Danny Habel, an active member of the Southampton Hebrew Congregation, said security is likely to be increased for worshippers in the city.

He said: “We’re all shaken. We’re concerned about what we can do, we feel vulnerable.

“We have upped security at the synagogue in the recent past, we probably will do that again.

“Obviously that’s not the answer, it’s a solution on the short-term basis, but the answer will have to be a change in mentality.

“It’s not as if this has come out of nothing, it’s just over the years the discrimination and hatred have been growing.

“Every year I have noticed a difference, so what’s happened now is a progression.

“As a small local community, we are aware that we have to tighten up on our security, we know each other well, we’re long established which helps in a way with personal security, we can talk to each other.

“Since Wednesday, there have been various suggestions we have made on how to improve structure and security of the synagogue. It’s hard to know what we can do.”

On Tuesday it was announced that Jewish communities across England are set to receive an extra £1 million of Government funding as ministers seek to tackle a rise in antisemitism.

Tim Sluckin, who has been the secretary of the Southampton Hebrew Congregation for 20 years, added: “Obviously the events in Golders Green and other anti-Jewish activities are matters of considerable concern to us.

“In addition, we appreciate that there are implications for public policy.

“Luckily, as far as I am aware, so far there has been nothing in the Southampton area.”

He said they have received about a dozen emails from concerned and sympathetic non-Jewish members of the public, including a number of people from the Southampton Council of Faiths.

These include members of the Sikh community, such as Narinder Singh, trustee of Gurdwara Tegh Bahadur Sahib.

He said: “Please know that the Sikh community stands shoulder to shoulder with the Jewish community at this painful time.

“When any community is targeted in hatred, it is an attack on all of us.

“We share in your pain, we condemn this violence without hesitation, and we stand united against hatred, fear and division in all its forms.”
