Countdown to nominate YOUR choice for the Bridge to Israel community organising award
Magen David Adom UK’s Bridge to Israel Awards, media partnered by Jewish News, will honour those striving to unite the two countries since 7 October 2023
There are just ten days left for Jewish News readers to nominate individuals, organisations or projects for an honour as part of MDA UK’s Bridge to Israel Awards, with nominations closing on 13 March.
The inaugural ceremony will take place on 27 April in central London, with honours presented in 13 categories including corporate impact, community organising, culture & the Arts and Philanthropy.
Readers of the Jewish News, the event’s media partner, are able to send in their own nominations for the Community Organiser category: open for UK grassroots activists who have stood up to be counted, helped to fight Israel’s corner since 7 October and worked to build strong relationships between the two countries.
MDA UK chief executive Daniel Burger said: “We know that even in these challenging times, we have to look to hope and to the future. That is why we are so thrilled to have our Bridge to Israel awards and want to recognise people from the British community who have done remarkable things for Israel.
“Often, it is our community organisers – shuls, schools, organisations and grassroots projects – who help to bring light and hope at the most worrying of times by drawing people together and not apart.”

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.
