Institute for Jewish Policy Research names new chair
David Ereira takes over the role from incumbent Stephen Moss
The Institute for Jewish Policy Research (JPR) has appointed David Ereira as its new chair, succeeding Stephen Moss who has been in the role since 2015.
Ereira is a current JPR trustee and vice-chair, who has also served as chairman of Norwood and vice president of S&P Sephardi. He remains an honorary life president of Norwood.
Outgoing JPR head Stephen Moss said: “David brings a vast wealth of experience and a passion to take JPR to new heights. He is the perfect person to lead this vital organisation into its next chapter, and I am deeply confident in his ability to continue advancing JPR’s essential work.”
Ereira said: “I am deeply honoured to step into the role of chair following the exceptional leadership of Stephen Moss. With over three decades of community service, I am dedicated to advancing JPR’s mission at a time when the need for accurate, insightful research has never been more urgent.
“As we face unprecedented global challenges, JPR’s work remains crucial to ensuring Jewish communities in the UK and Europe are empowered with the data and insights they need to navigate these turbulent times. Together with our exceptional team, we will continue to provide the intelligence and resilience our communities need to thrive.”
Dr Jonathan Boyd, executive director of JPR, said: “I want to express my deepest thanks to Stephen for his nearly decade-long dedication to JPR. Under his leadership, JPR’s influence expanded significantly, making our research more relevant than ever to leaders and policymakers worldwide.
“His stewardship has ensured that we are stronger than ever as an organisation. We are incredibly fortunate to have David Ereira take the helm, and we look forward to the unparalleled vision and expertise he brings to JPR as we continue to lead the way in Jewish community research.”

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.
