Chief Rabbi Mirvis joins rabbis and rebbetzens at unity conference
Israel’s President Herzog sends message of support to 11th annual Aleinu gathering at South Hampstead synagogue
Jewish Futures together with JLE (Jewish Learning Exchange), SEED and the Rabbinical Council of the United Synagogue hosted the 11th annual Aleinu conference in an incredible show of unity between outreach organisations.
The two-day event at South Hampstead Synagogue brought together an assembly of distinguished figures from across the UK Jewish community including Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis.
The conference serves as a platform for communal leaders to share insights, best practices, and perspectives on outreach strategies within the UK.
Aleinu also aims to increase collaborations between communal organisations and unite them and the Rabbinate by building personal connections.
Israel’s President Herzog sent a message for the Aleinu attendees: “As you gathered together in these dark and difficult time for the 11th annual Aleinu conference, in this time of crisis we meet not only in darkness and grief but also the deep power of people of an eternal people.
“People who are united and strong are unbeatable and is a power that those at Aleinu are well aware of and is why you come together, for over a decade now to help open hearts and foster a sense of holiness and connection within am Y’israel.”

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.
