With a new foreword by Simon Schama, The Dignity of Difference offers a radical proposal for reconciling our differences without violence – the perfect antidote to troubled times.
From Optimism to Hope

The Home We Build Together: Recreating Society
With a new foreword from Daniel Finkelstein, this powerful classic argues that we need to celebrate our shared interests as well as our differences and offers a new way of understanding citizenship and multiculturalism in modern Britain.

This powerful classic explores how many different faiths can together provide a cohesive morality that unites us despite our differences, and give people the meaning and dignity they deserve.
Radical Then, Radical Now
With a new foreword by Natan Sharansky, Rabbi Sacks’ deeply personal testimony explores how Judaism has not just survived but flourished in the face of persecution and catastrophes throughout history. This is a moving and uplifting celebration of faith and community filled with hope for the future of Jewish people.
To Heal a Fractured World: The Ethics of Responsibility
With a new foreword by Rowan William, this critique of narcissism draws on the ethic of responsibility at the heart of Judaism to explore what it means to be more and our collective duty to help others.

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.
