First night of Chanukah Ball to celebrate Israel, life and light
Israel Ball for young professionals on 7 December will support trauma therapy for survivors of Supernova Music Festival massacre through a special UJIA programme.
Volunteers and communal organisations are running a Chanukah ball for young professionals to show solidarity with Israel.
The Israel Ball, taking place on the first night of the festival of lights, 7th December, is supported by a committee of volunteers together with UJIA, StandWithUs, the JLC and the CST.
Taking place at an as-yet undisclosed five star central London venue, the Ball will feature music and entertainment by Avi Kraus, Muzika and DJ Jonny Bluestone, gourmet kosher food and drinks.
Tickets, thanks to generous sponsorship are £50 per person.
Chair of the organising event, Vladimir Bermant, founder of Hineni Capital told Jewish News: “The Israel Ball is set to become the highlight of the Jewish young professionals calendar. This positive, life-affirming event is the perfect opportunity to show our unwavering solidarity with Israel and our love for each other. Communal response has been astonishing.
“I am grateful to the 30-strong committee of hard-working, selfless people, and to the organisations that partnered with us, including the UJIA, StandWithUs, the JLC and the CST, and to Rabbi Mendel Kalmenson. We are all deeply committed to the flourishing of British Jewry and to Israel!”
He added: “The community very much needs an elegant, Zionist mass event for young people. That is why we made The Israel Ball so affordable and raised a lot of sponsorship to ensure everyone can afford to come.
Proceeds will go to trauma therapy for survivors of the Supernova Music Festival massacre through a special UJIA programme.

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.
