The Stamford Hill Jewish community is on high alert following attacks on Jewish-owned shops. The latest violence comes as Community Security Trust launches its annual survey of the Jewish community today and Campaign Against Antisemitism compiles a survey of hate incidents. Businesses and residents in Stamford Hill have experienced a spate of attacks which police are investigating. The shocking incident saw £25,000 worth of damage to the shop fronts. Images uploaded online appear to show shops boarded up after windows were smashed in. The incident was reported by Stamford Hill Shomrim, the Jewish volunteer neighbourhood organisation last Sunday. CAA works closely with

Shomrim on a data-sharing agreement. A CAA spokesperson said, “Violence against identifiably Jewish people and their property is becoming endemic in Stamford Hill. Every week there is another series of instances of abuse, assaults and property damage against the Jewish community. We continue to work in partnership with Stamford Hill Shomrim to combat this vile hatred, but it is time for the police to finally step up as well and protect Jews who are repeatedly being targeted and terrorised seemingly without end.” Regarding the disturbing episode, a CST spokesman noted, “These are an extremely disturbing series of incidents affecting the Jewish community and it is important that anybody with information contacts the police or, if they prefer, they can pass on their

information via CST. Our specialist team are ready to support anyone who has suffered antisemitism. It is vital all incidents are reported to CST and the police, so the perpetrators of these disgraceful incidents can be identified and hopefully brought to justice.” CST recently ran a training course for the Charedi community combining self-defence and security awareness with a counter-terrorism section from the Metropolitan Police. “Antisemitism affects all parts of our community, but it lands disproportionately on the most visible parts,” a spokesman said. Responses from Jews around the UK will enable CAA to have up to date information on institutions including the police, Crown Prosecution Service and Ofsted. Results will be published in its annual ‘Antisemitism Barometer’
and shared with the government, media and general public to raise awareness of antisemitism. Data contributes to policies that impact the criminal justice system, education in schools, regulation of social media, governance of universities and other areas of civic life. It is critical all of the Jewish community are represented in the survey including the Orthodox and Charedi segments. A spokesman said, “It is vital that Jewish men and women across Anglo-Jewry complete the survey to ensure all voices are heard."
