The Board of Deputies has said it is “alarmed” by reports of racist abuse following the European Union referendum result.
A Polish cultural centre in west London was daubed with racist graffiti over the weekend in an attack thought to be linked to the Brexit vote.
The incident came as Cambridgeshire police were investigating reports of laminated cards being distributed in Huntingdon on Friday urging “Polish vermin” to leave the UK.
The Board said it would be writing to the Polish ambassador today to express solidarity.
Chief executive Gillian Merron said: "It is important during these times of political uncertainty in our country to ensure that nobody feels vulnerable and threatened.
“Everyone, including European Union citizens and other minorities resident in the UK, has the right to security and protection from hate speech.
“The Jewish community knows all too well these feelings of vulnerability and will not remain silent in the face of a reported rise in racially motivated harassment."
