RETROSPECT: A Year Ago, Rabbi Avrohom Gurwicz Said Jews May Have To Leave Britain…

Read his letter from Parshas Beshalach last year here.

The Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill is undergoing its Report Stage in the House of Lords, with sessions running from 14 January 2026 through 3 February 2026 (that’s today!).

  • Has anything budged?
  • Are fewer building permits being filed for Jewish institutions?
  • Have housing prices changed?
  • Population still growing at 5% annually?
  • Are less Galus houses and institutions being built?
  • Tiny, normal market fluctuations?
  • How many new chasunas were booked in London venues this year?
  • Anyone actually selling their Stamford Hill properties?
  • How many applications to foreign yeshivas?
  • Enrollment numbers up or down?
  • For every 2 leaving, 3 Israelis moving here – net Jewish immigration TO Britain?
  • Any “gedolim” relocated, at least?
  • Visa applications to other countries increased?
  • Kollel positions?
  • Kosher shops closing or expanding?

Hahaha!

The Poor, Dutiful Miluimnik Is Back – but Not To Keep…

By Robert Frost
They sent him back to her. The letter came
Saying . . . And she could have him. And before
She could be sure there was no hidden ill
Under the formal writing, he was there,
Living. They gave him back to her alive—
How else? They are not known to send the dead—
And not disfigured visibly. His face?
His hands? She had to look, and ask,
‘What was it, dear?’ And she had given all
And still she had all—they had—they the lucky!
Wasn’t she glad now? Everything seemed won,
And all the rest for them permissible ease.
She had to ask, ‘What was it, dear?’
‘Enough
Yet not enough. A bullet through and through,
High in the breast. Nothing but what good care
And medicine and rest, and you a week,
Can cure me of to go again.’ The same
Grim giving to do over for them both.
She dared no more than ask him with her eyes
How was it with him for a second trial.
And with his eyes he asked her not to ask.
They had given him back to her, but not to keep.
