Jewish group attacked in London's Oxford Street returns for Hanukkah
The group says it is "not going to be deterred" after the attack by a "handful of people" last year
A group of Jewish youngsters who endured an antisemitic attack while aboard a bus on a trip to London has returned to the spot to celebrate Hannukah and "bring light". The group was on a private tour when men on the street swore, made obscene gestures and threw a shopping basket at them in Oxford Street in November 2021.They lit candles, danced and sang.
"The Jewish way is about a small amount of light dispels much darkness, so we wanted to bring this light and show that central London and Oxford Street is a welcoming place for Jews and everybody of all backgrounds," Rabbi Yisroel Lew, of Chabad Lubavitch of Bloomsbury, said.
