AJEX present new military standard to CST
The Jewish Military Association (AJEX) banner of arms will be displayed at parades, gatherings, and public events representing the contribution to Jewish life by Community Security Trust
Community Security Trust (CST) and The Jewish Military Association (AJEX) held a special dedication to unveil a new CST flag standard.
The ceremony was led by Rabbi Major Reuben Livingstone, senior Jewish Chaplain to HM Armed Forces and AJEX and attended by representatives from both organisations.
The highlight of the event was the presentation of the new Standard, sponsored by AJEX JMA member Joe Silver to reflect his deep appreciation for CST’s unwavering support to AJEX. It represents a symbol of collaboration, gratitude, and a shared commitment to safeguarding and serving the community.
The Standard will be displayed at parades, gatherings, and public events to proudly represent the esteemed contribution to Jewish life by CST.
Present at the ceremony were CST Chief Executive, Mark Gardner MBE, Dan Fox, the national Chair of AJEX JMA, vice Chair Mike Bluestone, and Chief Executive Fiona Palmer, along with several other esteemed members from both organisations.
Gardner said: “This is a very meaningful moment for CST and AJEX, marking an even stronger friendship between us. Both of our organisations are proud to protect the freedoms upon which we all depend for our way of life.”
Fox said: “CST is the modern incarnation of all Jewish communities’ proud and brave traditions in self-defence. It is wholly right that the work of its staff and volunteers is recognised and celebrated. The CST Standard embodies this leadership, commitment and service”.

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.
