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.

GlobeX halves fees to support Israel

By Michelle Rosenberg

In the wake of terror attacks in Israel, GlobeX, a leading foreign exchange service provider, has taken action to support victims and their families and the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) by halving its fees for transfers to Israel.

The move not only aids the victims but also serves as an incentive for further financial support to Israel.

Since the atrocious terrorist attacks, there has been a 20% surge in shekels being sent to Israel from the UK with GlobeX. The Pound (GBP) is currently at a six-year high to the Shekel (NIS).

Maurice Adler and Willis Godlewsky, senior traders at GlobeX, said:
“In these challenging times, we stand united with the victims of terror, the IDF, and the entirety of Israel. We felt compelled to contribute our part to support those who wish to aid people in Israel during this difficult period. As a demonstration of solidarity, we are extending a special offer: for the rest of October, anyone using GlobeX to send money to Israel will receive a minimum 50% reduction in costs. Our prayers are for peace and a swift resolution to this conflict, with all hostages being safely returned to their families.”
