Jason Isaacs in conversation with Ivor Baddiel raises the roof at South Hampstead
Harry Potter and White Lotus star supports Youth Aliyah Child Rescue
More than 200 guests gathered at South Hampstead synagogue in support of Youth Aliyah Child Rescue, as the charity hosted actor Jason Isaacs in conversation with comedian and writer Ivor Baddiel.
Isaacs, renowned for roles in Harry Potter, The Death of Stalin and The White Lotus spoke candidly about his acting career, sharing behind the scenes insights and reflections on the realities of life in the spotlight.
Most importantly, the evening brought the community together in support of the 91-year old charity for Israel’s most vulnerable children and its vital work transforming young lives in Israel.
At its annual dinner in March 2025, Youth Aliyah Child Rescue raised £500k and launched a memorial scholarship dedicated to murdered British Israeli citizen Jake Marlowe.
