Three Jewish schools in North London, Menorah High School, Torah Vodaas Primary School, and Ateres Beis Yaakov, have closed for the day due to planned protests supporting Palestinians. Menorah High School cited concerns of potential violence in the streets during the protests and urged parents to keep their children indoors. While most Jewish schools remained open, some isolated institutions expressed worry about the international call for demonstrations and instances of antisemitism during recent protests. Despite closures, the Community Security Trust advised schools to stay open, emphasizing existing security measures and the government's additional funding to safeguard Jewish community buildings amidst rising tensions.
