Hackney's Stamford Hill has the highest concentration of Ultra-Orthodox Jews in Europe.

Their new mayor is from a party that fielded a candidate who stated that "ramming a synagogue isn’t antisemitism, it’s revenge."

Hackney has over 80 synagogues. I wish all of them good luck. https://t.co/ra2xEfaMvN
