"The JCC has submitted evidence to the EHRC which it states shows the theatre's management "appear to have adopted a discriminatory policy refusing to host any Jewish-related events"."
"The Troxy has defended itself against the accusation and says booking decisions are "never based on faith or race"."
"The organisation alleges Orthodox Jewish event organisers have received hostile treatment from Troxy staff since October 7, a claim which the Troxy states is "entirely false" and "without foundation"."
The Jewish Community Council alleges The Troxy theatre in Limehouse has adopted a rigid policy since the October 7 attacks, rejecting numerous bookings for Jewish-related events. Reported rejected bookings include events featuring orthodox singer Yaakov Shwekey, American Jewish singer Benny Friedman, and a charity event for Crohn's and Colitis Relief that serves the Ashkenazi community. The JCC says evidence shows management "appear to have adopted a discriminatory policy refusing to host any Jewish-related events" and claims organisers received hostile treatment. The Troxy denies discrimination, describing the allegations as "entirely false" and "without foundation" and saying decisions were based on risk and safety assessments. The EHRC will make an initial assessment before deciding whether to open a formal investigation.
