The victims of the Golders Green stabbing attack yesterday have been named as Nachman Moshe ben Chaya Sarah and Moshe ben Baila.

Ben Chaya Sarah, 76, is known locally as Moshe Shine, and Ben Baila, 34, as Shlomo Rand.

In a post on X yesterday the Chief Rabbi named the two, referring to the men by their mother’s names in Hebrew  – the tradition used when praying for a person’s welfare.

“Please join me in praying for a swift and complete recovery for the victims of today’s attack,” he said.
