5,000 tune into Jewish News’ sensational Sunday Fun Day!
BGT's Josh Horus and entertainer Captain Calamity were joined by Art Hub LDN, scribbler Paul Solomons, SFC Academy & Stories With Sparkles for three action-packed hours of fun!
What do you get if you cross a rapping parrot with a cartoon masterclass and magic from Britain’s Got Talent? That’s right, the first ever Jewish News’ Virtual Family Fun Day!
Enjoyed from the comfort of their own homes, more than 5,000 people, young and old, tuned to three action-packed hours of drawing, painting, football skills, puppets and magic, on Sunday afternoon.
The JNFunDay, partnered with JLGB and JW3, kicked off with Captain Calamity’s slapstick set, complete with bubbles and balloons. Glue, crepe paper and paints took over, with Art Hub LDN’s creative corner, as participants had a go at being creative!
BGT finalist Josh Horus took to the virtual stage, with a dazzling display of trickery, before Paul Solomons, the Jewish News’ resident scribbler, led a cartoon masterclass involving a crocodile and a gorilla!
While young people are not able to go outside for a kick about with their friends right now, budding footballers got the chance to try out their impressive skills and drills with the SFC Academy!
Following puppet fun with Stories with Sparkles, the JN Fun Day finished off with The Official Kids Party, as young and old got on the dance floor to boogie their troubles away!
Jewish News editor Richard Ferrer, who hosted JNFunDay in a full tuxedo, with co-presenter Keely Price, said: “Our Sunday Fun day was an amazing way to banish the lockdown blues! We were overwhelmed with the response. Having 5,000 people tuning in live to all our fun-filled activities was a real thrill. Thanks to all our talented and creative performers and JLGB’s Keely Price for co-hosting. We will definitely be doing it again in the weeks to come.”

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
