Chief Rabbi of the United Kingdom Ephraim Mirvis released a video message on Twitter praising Queen Elizabeth II following her passing on Thursday, saying she “embodied the most noble values of British society.”
“Throughout her extraordinary reign, she conducted herself with grace, dignity and humility and was a global role model for distinguished leadership and selfless devotion to society. In an ever-changing world, she was a rock of stability and a champion of timeless values,” he added. “Every week in synagogue we have prayed for her welfare, well-being and wisdom, and she never let us down.”
“I recall how, on one occasion, she showed me and my wife items of Jewish interest and value in her private collection in Windsor Castle, including a Torah scroll rescued from Czechoslovakia during the Holocaust,” Mirvis recounted. “Her affection for the Jewish people ran deep, and her respect for our values was palpable.”

Shall you Chief Rabbi be allowed to enter Westminster Abbey for לוויה?
funeral is in a church on Shabbos, queen never visited her former “colony” of Israel despite visiting all the African and Caribbean ones.
If she visited then that would mean also visiting the Palestinian – and perhaps that latter thought was beyond the pale?
The Zionist paradise was not a “colony”; The Brits had a “mandate” from the UN to administer it, which they did.
The Zionists terrorized and fought the British to force the British to leave so that the Zionists could declare their “State”. So, it’s not hard to imagine why the Queen, who lived through all of that, had no desire to visit the Zionist paradise.
“Her affection for the Jewish people ran deep, and her respect for our values was palpable.”
Yet the British “Chief Rabbis” feel that they must be Michallel Sheim Shamayim (for starters) and attend a Church during a Church ceremony, with the excuse being “mipnei aivah”, as they will presumably do yet again.
How does “mipnei aivah” fit in with that quote?
We’re in galus and we should keep a low profile. No need to publicly kiss up to goyim.
Don’t critsize the chief rabbi. He has challenges that you don’t have.
Oh okay. Thanx.
See Teshuvoh from Ksav Sofer in Orech Chaim, Siman 37.
