AJEX honours student cadets at awards ceremony
Outstanding recruits recognised at evening for the Combined Cadet Force
AJEX celebrated the achievements of JFS and JCoSS cadets at a Combined Cadet Force (CCF) awards ceremony.
Key honours included Vesper Kaufmann as ‘Most Outstanding Recruit’, Jake Tash as ‘Outstanding Cadet’, and Charlotte Aboody alongside Melissa (no surname), who were jointly awarded the Max Karo Trophy for Most Improved Cadets.
The cadets were commended for their commitment, leadership and positive influence.
Fiona Palmer, chief executive of AJEX, said: “The dedication, resilience and leadership shown by these Cadets is truly inspiring. The CCF provides young people with skills and confidence that will serve them throughout their lives and AJEX is proud to support and recognise their achievements”.
AJEX deputy chair Josh Dennis added: “Having worked with the Combined Cadet Force at JFS and JCoSS as a service helper for the last two years, it is wonderful to see the Cadets continuing to grow and become young adults. Their dedication and a commitment are an inspiration to us all. In addition, the tireless work of the CCF staff volunteers is exceptional without which the activities would not be able to run anywhere near the high standard that they do”.
This term, 46 new cadets will join from JFS and JCoSS.

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.
