From Shabbat arrangements to Jerusalem oil: Jewish details of King Charles coronation – In first, representatives of Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, and Zoroastrian communities, among others, to be incorporated into proceedings for Saturday royal ceremony | The Times of Israel

LONDON (JTA) — At a reception of faith leaders at Buckingham Palace the day after Queen Elizabeth’s death in September, King Charles pulled Britain’s chief rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis, aside for a word.
The reception was pushed earlier in the day than originally planned to accommodate Mirvis, since it fell on a Friday. But it ran long and Shabbat was approaching. According to Rabbi Nicky Liss, head of the Highgate Synagogue, Charles asked Mirvis what the rabbi was doing sticking around — didn’t he have to get home by Shabbat?
