She recalled sitting in the relatives’ room at the hospital, watching Prime Minister Boris Johnson announce the first lockdown on her mobile phone “as my father lay dying in the next room”.
Ms Moss wrote that she was “fortunate that I can visit my father’s grave in Willesden Cemetery whenever I want” but because she was identified as being high-risk medically, she had been unable to attend his funeral.
“There must be so many of us, families and friends who wish to pay their respects to those who have died within the cross-communal Jewish community in a suitable location,” she said.
Her father Clive, who was 89, had been on holiday in South Africa before his death but developed a cough shortly after his return.
Ms Moss, who works for a mental health charity, has had roles in a number of Jewish charities during her career.
Board of Deputies President Marie van der Zyl said she had “proposed a national Jewish remembrance event where we can pay tribute to all who have lost their lives since early 2020.”
