\n Shloime Rand, 34, and Norman Shine, 76, were stabbed during a knife rampage through the streets of the north London suburb last week.\n<\/p>\n
\n 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.\n<\/p>\n
\n Danny Habel, an active member of the Southampton Hebrew Congregation, said security is likely to be increased for worshippers in the city.\n<\/p>\n

\n He said: \u201cWe\u2019re all shaken. We\u2019re concerned about what we can do, we feel vulnerable.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe have upped security at the synagogue in the recent past, we probably will do that again.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cObviously that\u2019s not the answer, it\u2019s a solution on the short-term basis, but the answer will have to be a change in mentality.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt\u2019s not as if this has come out of nothing, it\u2019s just over the years the discrimination and hatred have been growing.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cEvery year I have noticed a difference, so what\u2019s happened now is a progression.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cAs a small local community, we are aware that we have to tighten up on our security, we know each other well, we\u2019re long established which helps in a way with personal security, we can talk to each other.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cSince Wednesday, there have been various suggestions we have made on how to improve structure and security of the synagogue. It\u2019s hard to know what we can do.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n On Tuesday it was announced that Jewish communities across England are set to receive an extra \u00a31 million of Government funding as ministers seek to tackle a rise in antisemitism.\n<\/p>\n

\n Tim Sluckin, who has been the secretary of the Southampton Hebrew Congregation for 20 years, added: \u201cObviously the events in Golders Green and other anti-Jewish activities are matters of considerable concern to us.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIn addition, we appreciate that there are implications for public policy.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cLuckily, as far as I am aware, so far there has been nothing in the Southampton area.”\n<\/p>\n
\n 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.\n<\/p>\n
\n These include members of the Sikh community, such as Narinder Singh, trustee of Gurdwara Tegh Bahadur Sahib.\n<\/p>\n

\n He said: \u201cPlease know that the Sikh community stands shoulder to shoulder with the Jewish community at this painful time.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWhen any community is targeted in hatred, it is an attack on all of us.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe share in your pain, we condemn this violence without hesitation, and we stand united against hatred, fear and division in all its forms.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shloime Rand, 34, and Norman Shine, 76, were stabbed during a knife rampage through the streets of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":940656,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[748,393,4884,257,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-940655","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-london","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116525441117017023","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/940655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=940655"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/940655\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/940656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=940655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=940655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=940655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
