Politicians and representatives from the faith communities are joining to mark the 350th anniversary of the resettlement of Jews in England.

and the President of the Board of Deputies of British [color="red"]Jews Henry Grunwald QC

were joining Government ministers, MPs, peers and other faith groups at a ceremony in the Bevis Marks Synagogue in the City of London.

The service of thanksgiving will mark the 350th anniversary of the Resettlement of Jews in England when [color="red"]
Manasseh Ben Israel, a Dutch Jew,

successfully petitioned Oliver Cromwell to allow Jews to return to England.

Jews had lived in England from at least the time of the Norman Conquest in 1066 but the medieval settlement came to an end in 1290 when Jews were banished by Edward I.

Despite the presence of a handful of Jews at different times during the Tudor and Jacobean periods there was no official community in England until after 1656 when Oliver Cromwell granted them permission to reside and practise their religious rites.

The [color="red"]Bevis Marks synagogue,

founded by Spanish and Portuguese Jews from Amsterdam, was built in 1701 and is the oldest synagogue in use on British soil.

The 19th century saw the Jewish community gaining increasing civil rights with Sir David Salomons becoming the first Jewish Lord Mayor of London in 1855.

In 1858, the first Jewish MP, [color="red"]Lionel de Rothschild
,

was finally admitted to Parliament after being elected four times.

The UK is the only country in Europe that has a synagogue where Jewish worship has continued without interruption for over 300 years.
