"UK Chief Rabbi and PM to Play Key Roles in King Charles III's Coronation"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Jerusalem Post
The UK Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis will participate in King Charles III's coronation ceremony, which will have Jewish elements to it. Mirvis explained the halachic issues for Jews at the coronation, including entering a church and participating in events that include the use of microphones, live music, or electronic devices on Shabbat. Buckingham Palace has arranged for Mirvis to walk along the same route as the then-chief rabbi did in 1902, and to ride on one of the royal horses and carts for him to be part of the parade. Mirvis and his wife will be staying in St. James’ Palace, and the palace is providing a kosher caterer for their food over Shabbat and looking after every small detail.
