President of the United Synagogue Michael Goldstein has issued a powerful message of solidarity to all staff in the organisation, addressing the recent surge in riots across the country. 

In his letter, Goldstein writes of his “disgust at the racism and violence we are seeing on our streets across the country”.

He acknowledges the legitimate right to protest and debate issues such as immigration, but strongly condemns the racially-motivated attacks.

“The thuggery we have seen so far, motivated by racism and hatred, is despicable and should be called out for what it is,” he writes.
