British Jews are facing a dilemma about how to observe the Sabbath this weekend, following a suspected hate crime in Golders Green, north London.
The attack, which is being investigated by the Metropolitan Police, left a man with serious injuries and has sparked concerns about safety in the Jewish community.
Some victims of anti-Semitism have spoken to the BBC, revealing the fear and anxiety they are experiencing. One man, who wished to remain anonymous, told the BBC: 'I bought a baseball cap to hide my kippah. It's a ridiculous thing to have to do, but it's the reality of living in this country.'
The Community Security Trust, a charity that provides security services to Jewish communities, has reported a 72% increase in anti-Semitic incidents in London since 2014.
The Government and Jewish leaders have condemned the attack and called for unity in the face of rising anti-Semitism. The Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, said: 'Anti-Semitism has no place in our society and we must do everything we can to tackle it.'
