Prince Charles to host reception celebrating contribution of British Jews
Heir to the throne to stage 'wonderful event' in December, to pay tribute to British Jews' contribution to the country
The Prince of Wales has invited a selection of Jewish representatives to Buckingham Palace in December for an event to celebrate the contribution of the community.
Board of Deputies’ president Marie van der Zyl said: “We are very grateful to HRH The Prince of Wales for staging this wonderful event to pay tribute to the enormous contribution the Jewish community has made to the United Kingdom over many years.”
Last year Prince Charles attended the Jewish community’s celebration of the 70th Anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel at the Royal Albert Hall, the latest in a long list of events showcasing his deep relations with British Jews.

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.
