The Jewish community in Limerick is facing an ongoing wave of persecution, leading to widespread concern and calls for action. Reverend F.B. Levin, the minister of the local synagogue, received a letter from Mr John Redmond, Member of Parliament, expressing his solidarity with the Jewish community and condemning the acts of persecution.

In his letter, Mr Redmond categorically stated that he has no sympathy for the attacks on the Hebrew community, not only in Limerick but anywhere else. He expressed his confidence in the Irish people’s good sense and spirit of toleration, believing that they will stand up against any wrongdoing inflicted upon the Jewish community.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere of fear and hostility has caused Jewish house-to-house traders to suspend their business activities. The ongoing persecution has created an environment where the safety and well-being of the Jewish community are under threat.

The ongoing persecution faced by the Jewish community in Limerick is a matter of deep concern. The local community leaders, human rights activists, and individuals from various backgrounds are rallying together to condemn these acts and advocate for an end to the persecution. They are urging the city and its residents to uphold values of inclusivity, respect, and harmony.

It is a critical moment for Limerick to stand against discrimination and work towards fostering an environment where diversity is celebrated and every individual can live without fear of persecution. The hope is that collective efforts and the support of influential figures like Mr Redmond will bring about positive change and ensure the safety and well-being of the Jewish community.
