Dozens of European Jewish leaders have hit out at Belgian prosecutors who plan to charge two Jewish men with performing illegal circumcisions.
In an open letter to European and Belgian officials, 45 communal and religious Jewish leaders accused the Antwerp Public Prosecutor’s Office of “effectively criminalising the act of circumcision” and infringing on religious freedom.
Earlier this month, Belgian prosecutors announced their recommendation to refer two mohelim to the criminal court following investigations.
In Belgium, the law requires all circumcisions to be performed by licensed medical professionals.
The two men would be charged with intentional assault or battery against minors and the unlawful practice of medicine.
But the European Jewish leaders responded that prosecuting mohelim was “antisemitic in nature, reminiscent of efforts taken in Europe against Jewish practice prior to the Second World War”.
They said the potential prosecutions sent a message that “Jews are no longer welcome in Belgium” and “Belgian Jews are now second-class citizens with limited rights”.
Their appeal was led by the chairman of the European Jewish Association, Rabbi Menachem Margolin.
Gideon Sa’ar, Israel’s Foreign Affairs Minister, called the prosecutors’ decision a “scarlet letter on Belgian society”.
He was joined by the American ambassador to Belgium, Bill White, who posted on X that the country “will be thought of now as antisemitic by world”.
The mohelim were first investigated after complaints alleged in 2023 that they practised metzitza b’peh, in which the circumciser cleans the wound with oral suction.
Rabbi Dr Jonathan Lieberman, a mohel of 35 years, told the Jewish Telegraph: “A brit mila is not merely a ceremony — it is an act of identity, continuity, faith and belonging.
“It links a Jewish child to his people, his history and his destiny.
“Because I believe so deeply in brit mila, I have spent at least 25 of those years campaigning against the practice of metzitza b’peh.
“I have done so not because I am opposed to tradition, but because I am committed to it.”
Manchester-raised Rabbi Dr Lieberman added: “I have feared that if we fail to distinguish between the essential mitzva of mila and a dangerous later practice attached to it, we will one day give the enemies of brit mila the weapon they need.
“That day may now have arrived in Belgium.”
Belgium’s foreign minister Maxime Prévot declared that it was “inappropriate to publicly criticise a country and tarnish its image simply because you disagree with judicial proceedings”.
The open letter also reminded Belgium that “freedom of religion is a fundamental right”.
It continued: “This decision stands in direct contradiction to it. In many countries a solution has been found that balances freedom of religion. In France, Holland, and Germany for instance.”
Dr Lieberman said the right of Jews to perform brit mila is “not negotiable”, but that Jews have to be honest.
He explained: “If the case is bound up with allegations of metzitza b’peh, then our response cannot simply be to cry antisemitism and leave it there.
“We have to ask whether we have, by our own refusal to confront this practice responsibly, placed brit mila itself in danger. For more than 25 years I have said the same thing: sooner or later, metzitza b’peh will be used as a reason to attack brit mila itself.
“I have said this to rabbinic colleagues, to mohelim, to communal leaders and to anyone willing to listen.
“I have warned that governments and courts will not always make the careful distinction between mila and metzitza b’peh.
“They will see a practice they regard as dangerous, and they may respond not by banning the dangerous addition, but by restricting or criminalising the whole institution.
“Every time metzitza b’peh is performed, it risks more than the health of one child, grave though that is.
“It risks the reputation of mohelim and it risks public confidence in brit mila.
“It risks handing ammunition to those who have never accepted Jewish circumcision in the first place.
“It risks making the defence of brit mila immeasurably harder for those of us who are trying to explain, patiently and responsibly, that Jewish circumcision is safe, ancient, meaningful and lawful.
“The Jewish community should not wait for prosecutors, governments or hostile campaigners to force the issue - we should lead.
“Rabbinic authorities, mohelim and communal organisations should state clearly and publicly that metzitza b’peh should not be performed.
“Where metzitza is maintained, it should be done only with a sterile pipette or equivalent device, with no direct oral contact.”

In a world where victims are ignored and provocateurs are canonised, the flotilla activists understood one thing perfectly: cruelty plays well on camera.
The scenes of flotilla activists shouting “Free Palestine” into the faces of Israelis - people whose fellow citizens were murdered, tortured, r***d and kidnapped by Hamas and their Gazan accomplices during the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust - were not protest, but acts of calculated cruelty, and crossed the line from activism into psychological aggression.
To grasp the obscenity of this behaviour, imagine a boatload of foreign activists screaming “Free N**i Germany” at Jewish survivors staggering out of the camps in 1945, taunting the victims of unimaginable acts of barbarism.
This was deliberate provocation.
The activists knew perfectly well that their staged ‘aid mission’ would never reach Gaza.
Their goal was not humanitarian relief but maximum publicity - to provoke, to manufacture confrontation, and to damage Israel’s reputation.
They sailed toward a declared military zone with cameras primed, statements drafted, and a read-made script in which they would cast themselves as victims.
They knew exactly what they were doing.
The activists’ subsequent claims of having been ‘kidnapped’ by Israeli authorities only deepen the obscenity
It is a grotesque appropriation of a word that belongs to the real victims of Hamas and turns perpetrators into heroes and victims into villains in this upside down modern world, inflating the drama of a self-inflicted stunt by trivialising real suffering.
One wonders how other democracies - let alone autocracies such as Russia, China or Iran - would have responded to a foreign flotilla attempting to breach their naval security in solidarity with the terrorists who had invaded their country and perpetrated atrocities on their citizens of the scale and savagery of October 7.
The activists chose Israel precisely because they knew they would be safe. That is not courage. It is performance virtue signalling conducted under the protective umbrella of the very democracy they simultaneously vilify.
Perhaps most disturbing is the reaction of their supporters, sections of the mainstream media and leaders of Western democracies, who appear more outraged by the temporary detention of these troublemakers than by the atrocities of October 7.
And then came Bilbao. Spanish police at the airport dragged, beat and pinned down the very same activists - on camera, in broad daylight - with a level of force Israel deliberately avoided.
And the world's moral guardians?
The same people who can detect ‘oppression" at a hundred paces when Israel is involved suddenly lost their voice.
Why? Because Spain is not the designated global villain.

When news broke this week of a massive blaze at a Golders Green, London, kosher supermarket, the immediate reaction was that this was arson and yet another antisemitic attack in British Jews. It surely could not have been anything else — or could it have been? Subsequent investigations, in fact, proved that an electrical fault was the cause.
Sadly, this is the reality of the fear that British Jews experience today. In the country of our birth, we find ourselves constantly looking over our shoulders metaphorically and physically. Quite literally, every time a stranger lingers outside a synagogue or a Jewish communal building, or someone holds our gaze for a fraction too long, there is suspicion that something sinister is afoot. And now, when a kosher supermarket is engulfed in flames, our automatic response is that this is yet another attack on the community — another attempt not only to kill or maim, or to cause physical damage to our property, but to send a message that we are neither safe nor welcome in our own country.
It is little wonder that so many are considering emigration to Israel, or have already left, or that property companies and advisers on aliya are experiencing increasing demand for their services.
And British Jews are not alone. Throughout Europe, communities fear for their very continuity as we are assailed from all sides. Take Belgium, for example, where not only has shechita been banned without pre-stunning of animals, but now circumcision may also be outlawed.
Still, there are those who wonder why, despite the ever-present worry about rocket attacks, Jews prefer the safety of a Jewish homeland. The answer becomes increasingly obvious.

This is a new comedy by Kate Bramley and stars Ellen Carnazza in a one woman show in which Ellen plays multiple roles and commands the stage for almost 90 minutes in which she shows incredible energy, versatility, skill and real acting ability.
Her main character is an ex-TV baking host, Petronella Parfait who is attempting to make a comeback by launching her social media channel using her own, or is it her own, secret bread-making recipe.
Petronella is a brilliant exaggeration of social media influencers and shades of Victoria Wood are clearly visible.
Not long into her presentation things start to unwind with the mobile phone being used as the medium for introducing the other cast of mis-fits.
Trouble starts when Demelza Meek, her long-suffering assistant, calls. In the blink of an eye Ellen manages to turn herself into Demelza with the minimum of props.
During all the various costume changes, each character with a different accent from Welsh to Italian and everywhere in between, Ellen never makes a slip.
And, through it all, Ellen is going through the motions of actually baking bread from rolling the dough and all the while telling her audience that this is her secret recipe.
We are introduced to Gloria Gluten, a barrister who wants revenge on her childhood friend, Lady Payne, Petronella’s estranged mother, Mrs Crumble, the innocent old baker who is the origin of the secret bread recipe.
Penny Puttanesca is the Italian owner of the local pizza restaurant chain who has been sponsoring Petronella for years. She, along with all the other characters, piles on the pressure and there is an amazing scene when her son “Big Tony”, of course played by Ellen, confronts Petronella and we have a great slapstick scene with the clever use of lighting and classic improvisation by Ellen.
This is a very cleverly written, brilliantly acted and improvised by Ellen which deserves to be seen by much larger audiences than to which it has currently been performing.
What really tops of the performance is the chance for the audience to taste the bread baked live on stage.
There will be performances on June 25 in Ripon and June 26 in Hartlepool.

What started with a carrot placed in her school bag by her mother has become a lifelong passion for healthy eating, colourful cooking and bringing people together through food for Sharon Hart.
Now 63, Southport-born Sharon — our new food columnist — is putting the finishing touches to her first recipe book, Nutritious and Delicious, a collection of simple, seasonal and affordable dishes inspired by decades spent in the kitchen.
“My mum used to put a carrot in my school bag instead of giving me money for the tuck shop,” Sharon, of Hale, Cheshire, said.
“At the time it probably seemed strange, but I ended up getting my friends into eating carrots as well. That was probably the beginning of everything.”
The book reflects her philosophy that healthy food should never feel complicated or expensive.
Packed with salads, savoury dishes and practical cooking tips, it is designed to encourage people to make nutritious meals using fresh ingredients and whatever is available at home.
The daughter of Angella Carne and the late Brian Carne, Sharon was raised in a typical Jewish home where food was always at the centre of family life.
Sharon recalled: “I remember all the yomtovs and my mum making unbelievable amounts of delicious food.
“She is an amazing cook and she’s still cooking now at 85. I definitely learned from her.”
After studying catering at college, Sharon moved to Manchester at the age of 18 to attend catering college before working in hospitality catering for the BBC in London.
She later retrained in financial planning, completing professional qualifications through the company she worked for, and worked in the industry for 15 years while raising four children.
Alongside her career, Sharon, who is married to Jeremy, continued entertaining and experimenting in the kitchen.
Her approach to food was also shaped by personal tragedy.
Sharon’s father died from cancer at a young age, an experience that had a profound impact on how she viewed health and nutrition.
She explained: “After losing my father, I became much more conscious about how I wanted to live my life. I wanted to take care of myself and my family by eating proper food.”
Although Sharon studied some nutrition during her catering course, she is quick to stress that she is not a nutritionist.
“I’m just very interested in healthy eating,” she added.
“Food is always changing and people can become overwhelmed by trends, but for me it is about fresh ingredients, balance and eating seasonally.”
The idea for Nutritious and Delicious was born during lockdown, when Sharon joined a WhatsApp group called ‘What’s for Dinner Tonight?’, where members shared photographs of their meals each evening.
“One of my salads ended up being shown on television because somebody thought it looked nice,” she recalled.
“People started asking for more recipes and suddenly I became known as ‘the salad queen of Hale’.”
And salads remain her speciality and form a major part of the book.
Sharon continued: “I love salads because they’re creative. You can use all different vegetables, herbs and textures.
“I try to cook with what’s in season — for example, we are coming into rhubarb season and the beginning of strawberry season.
Many of the ingredients come directly from Sharon’s garden, where she grows herbs, fruit and vegetables.
Alongside writing her book, Sharon continues to teach drama, having spent 21 years at Withington Girls’ School producing musicals and teaching London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art performance classes.
She now teaches online one day a week.
But charity work remains equally important to her. Sharon volunteers regularly at Belong Morris Feinmann care home, helping to organise coffee mornings, and has spent two decades fundraising for Magen David Adom UK.
During lockdown she also delivered online food demonstrations for The Fed, the Manchester-based Jewish social care charity.
And proceeds from Nutritious and Delicious will go to The Fed, cancer charities and MDA UK.
Each page of the book also includes a nutritional tip written by Sharon’s cousin, Belinda Ossip, which adds another practical dimension to the recipes.”

There was heated debate at the Giffnock Newton Mearns Synagogue annual meeting over proposals to relocate to a new building.
More than 200 congregants packed the shul hall to vote on the recommended relocation of the shul to May Terrace.
Proposals were presented by Page Park Architects of the vision for a newly-built shul to be part of the Glasgow Jewish Hub.
The options available to the congregation were: to remain at Maryville Avenue and carry out substantial remodelling and upgrading works to the existing buildings; to remain at Maryville Avenue, demolish the existing buildings and build a new shul; or to relocate to May Terrace.
GNMS council member Gary Cohen told congregants that moving to a new shul would be by far the most cost-effective and practical solution going forward.
Mr Cohen said: “Last July, I accompanied our chairman Michael Goodman to a meeting with representatives of Jewish Care Scotland, Maccabi and the Community Trust.
“The purpose was to see if all parties could support a Glasgow Jewish Community hub, all under one roof, with the belief that this would be the way for the future.
“Having had a tour of May Terrace, it was evident that it was more suitable than Maryville Avenue, due to its layout and the multipurpose functional use.”
Jewish Care Scotland vice-chairman Paul Winocour said: “We are now progressing with our vision to transform the Jewish Care and Maccabi buildings at May Terrace into the Glasgow Jewish Community Hub.
“The Hub will be a safe and comfortable space for all multi-generational members of the Jewish community to connect and socialise with one another and participate in a wide range of activities and uses.
“We are delighted that Giffnock Newton Mearns Synagogue could become an important element of the Hub.”
GNMS minister Rabbi Moshe Rubin said: “In the life cycle of a community, there are critical moments that challenge us to be brave, visionary and even revolutionary and this is one of those moments.
“It is an exciting time as we work to create a shul that will truly meet the needs of our community in the future.
“When the young families of our congregation are energised and inspired by this vision, it is a clear sign that this is the right time and the right path forward.”
Once representatives from Page Park, including GNMS member Rafi Selby, had spoken, the floor was opened for questions.
Several members asked where the money would come from for a new building.
They were told that the shul executive was confident that the required capital funds could be obtained through the sale proceeds of the sites at Maryville Avenue and Larchfield Court; grant assistance from local and UK-wide Jewish trusts and foundations; community fundraising; public and private organisations.
There would be a strong case to seek funding the first new shul to be built in Glasgow for more than 50 years.
Another concern raised was that there was a lack of parking suitability at May Terrace and this was something that had to be resolved.
Some speakers felt that there wasn’t enough concrete information available yet to make an informed decision. Some congregants felt that the new shul, with a 200 capacity with options for expansion, would be too small. It was also cautioned that it might be too big.
Younger members of the congregation were asked for their views, especially as they and their families would be taking the community forward. They all fully supported the move and felt it would be a real opportunity for their children.
Young mother Genna Barnett said: “I can’t overstate how much of a difference this would make and how important it is to the continuity of this community.
“I’ve seen that happen in London and in Brighton. I have friends who are part of the community in Brighton that has been built. And I think it would be just the biggest travesty and mistake, if we did not vote to go for this.”
GNMS said that it would be the intention, going forward, to form a steering group, from members of the shul, to liaise with the architects throughout the process so that the wishes of the congregants are considered in the overall design process.
If approved, there would be a seamless move from Maryville Avenue into the completed new shul.
It would allow a smaller shul to be built, which would still incorporate all the religious requirements, but would have the advantage of being able to use many of the facilities of the Glasgow Jewish Community Hub.
Overall, this would substantially reduce the annual running costs compared to the existing shul.
GNMS chairman Michael Goodman said: “We believe this ambition provides a clear and compelling foundation for the long-term strength, continuity and development of our community.”
The unanimous recommendation from the shul council and trustees is to vote in favour of the relocation.
In person voting took place after the meeting and after the additional opportunity to view the architects’ proposals, in the shul reception area on Sunday.
Those who have not yet voted can do so online until Sunday, (8pm).
The plan would be for the new shul to be constructed during 2031.
This is due to existing leases in place to private tenants, until the end of 2030, on a building at May Terrace, which would require to be demolished to create space for the newly-built shul.

A Manchester-based mixed martial artist has won his latest amateur fight.
Rocco Bernstein beat Caua Ribeiro, of Portugal, by a unanimous decision during the UK Fighting Championships, at the Stage Arena, in Preston.
The 18-year-old told the Jewish Telegraph: “I was really tired after the fight as it went the whole three rounds, but I am obviously still really happy with the win.”
Rocco, the son of Debbie and Matt Bernstein, has now won all but one of his previous six amateur bouts — and that was after a glittering time as a junior, where he won 10 and lost three fights.
The former Manchester King David High School pupil fights out of Manchester Top Team, in Ashton-under-Lyne, where a number of Ultimate Fighting Championship competitors train. UFC is the top tier of MMA.
Rocco said: “I am going to have a bit of time off now. I will then try to fight better people and become the best amateur in the UK before I turn professional.”

At 81, Trevor Harris never expected to become an author. But after watching antisemitism surge following October 7, the Liverpudlian felt that he could no longer stay silent.
Together with his brother-in-law Harvey Fish, who lives in Israel, Trevor has spent the past two and a half years researching and writing Hate Dressed As Justice.
It is a free eBook which explores the long and troubling history of antisemitism.
“We just wanted people to understand how it started and how wrong it is,” Trevor told the Jewish Telegraph.
“I want as many Jewish and non-Jewish people to read it as possible.”
Born in Southport and raised in Liverpool, the Allerton Synagogue member said the idea came about during a conversation with Harvey, who lives in Kiryat Bialik, shortly after Hamas’ massacres.
Trevor said: “He phoned me and said, ‘all the things that are happening in England, all this antisemitism — do you fancy writing a book telling people how it started?’.
“I said yes, but I realised I didn’t really know myself.
“We have gone into reference books and libraries, and we have just found out so much about antisemitism.
“It started when we were kicked out of Egypt in the Bible and it’s gone on since then.
“But after October 7, we thought, how on earth can people still be antisemitic after what’s happened? That is what we’ve written in the book.”
The research became an international collaboration.
Harvey visited museums and libraries across Israel, while Trevor spent countless hours researching in Britain.
They also explored archives from Yad Vashem and Holocaust museums, alongside modern digital tools.
“AI has been very helpful,” said father-of-two Trevor, who is married to Hilary.
“You can put a lot of things into AI and it’ll come up with information. Years ago you couldn’t have done something like this from home.”
The book also reflects Trevor and Harvey’s attempts to understand the changing nature of antisemitism in Britain today.
Trevor, a grandfather of three, speaks candidly about seeing weekly pro-Palestinian demonstrations near his home and the confusion he feels over the hostility directed towards Jewish people in Britain.
“It’s nothing to do with the Jews here,” he said.
“Even people in Israel do not like what has happened.
“Recently, near my home, I noticed demonstrators carrying a banner which read ‘We love Jews but hate Israel’. They’ve changed their attitude now.
“It’s gone from hating Jews to saying they love Jews but hate Israel.
“I think people should understand it’s not us Jews in England causing trouble in the Middle East.”
Copies of the eBook have already been distributed to rabbis and schools in the hope of encouraging discussion and education.
But Trevor insisted that neither he nor Harvey have any commercial ambition behind the project.
He explained: “We didn’t want any money for it. We just wanted people to know how it started and how wrong it is.”
The process of creating the digital book was another learning curve.
Trevor used the design platform Canva to build the pages before converting it into an interactive flipbook format.
It is written under the pseudonym David Stuart, which are Trevor and Harvey’s middle names, respectively.
And, far from slowing down, the duo have already begun work on another project.
The new book will focus on non-Jewish people who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust, also known as the Righteous Among the Nations.
“Some of the stories are unbelievable,” Trevor added.
“We’ve done about 50 or 60 already and people won’t believe what some of them did to help Jews survive.”

Firefighters are currently tackling a blaze which appears to have started behind supermarket Kosher Kingdom in Golders Green, north London.
The London Fire Brigade said it received the first of 56 calls about the fire at 6.47am, while 15 fire engines and 100 firefighters from Finchley, Willesden and West Hampstead are at the scene.
It also stated that the fire is producing a significant amount of smoke and that it is advising people in the area to keep their windows and doors shut.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed that there are no injuries.
Golders Green has been at the centre of a string of antisemitic hate crimes in recent months.
In April, two men wearing Orthodox Jewish clothing were stabbed in an alleged terrorist attack and were taken to hospital, with the suspect facing trial next year.
In March, four ambulances belonging to the Hatzola Jewish charity were set alight, while there have also been firebomb attacks against synagogues and Jewish community centres.
And a Jewish man suffered injuries to his face and back after he was allegedly assaulted in Golders Green last week.
But the cause of the fire is unknown at this time.

An eighth man has been arrested in Salford by detectives in connection with the terrorist attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation on Yom Kippur.

This evening, officers from Counter Terrorism Policing North West, alongside Greater Manchester Police, executed a warrant at an address in St James’ Road, Higher Broughton, Salford.

A 49-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of failing to disclose information regarding terrorist activity. He has been taken into custody for questioning.

Adrian Daulby and Melvin Cravitz were killed and three other men were treated in hospital for serious injuries. All three have since been released.

Eight people have now been arrested in connection with the investigation, including a 30-year-old man arrested on October 9 last year on suspicion of failing to disclose information. He remains under investigation.

It also includes a man who has since been charged with terrorism offences that are not directly linked to the attack.

Assistant Chief Constable Rob Potts said: “We remain unwavering in our commitment to establishing the full picture behind the attack and getting answers for those affected, including the local community. We are prepared to take swift, firm action where we suspect criminal offences may have occurred.

“Our investigation is continuing, and I would once again urge anybody who may have information that could assist us to please contact the Police.”
