As the Jewish communities of the British commonwealth prepare for the coronation of King Charles III this weekend, Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis KBE has prepared a prayer to be recited in Shuls this Shabbos.
Ahead of the celebrations this weekend, Chief Minister of the Birmingham Hebrew Congregation and community Rabbi Yossi and Rachel Jacobs were invited to Buckingham Palace for the coronation tea party on Wednesday 3rd May.
Rabbi Jacobs and his Rebbetzen who are Shluchim in Birmingham England have served as leaders of the 166-year-old Singers Hill Shul which is the Midlands’ oldest and largest congregation.
Rabbi Jacobs had the opportunity to speak to King Charles and told the King that we would all be praying for him on the day of his coronation.
The King joked that they had picked the wrong day with it being a Shabbos!
The Jacobs were invited to the palace back in 2012 for Queen Elizabeth II’s jubilee celebrations when they met and spoke to Princes Kate.
Rebbetzen Rachel Jacobs filmed her daily Sefer Hamitzvah video yesterday for Chabad.org which speaks about the Mitzvah of giving honor and respect from the gardens of Buckingham Palace.
