Partnerships for Jewish Schools (PaJeS) has appointed a new Chair to lead the organisation.

Dov Black, managing partner of BBS Law in Manchester, has previously acted as a trustee for the schools network.

He is also Chair of trustees for his own synagogue, Ohr Yerushalayim and was governor for over 20 years at Broughton Jewish Primary School before spending 12 years as Chair of Governors. He is now a trustee of the school.

Black said: ”I am looking forward to continuing the wonderful work of PaJeS in my capacity as Chair and to lead this organisation in assisting Jewish schools throughout the country to educate and nurture our next generation.”

PaJeS has thanked outgoing Chair Sarah Anticoni for her contributions and commitment.

Rabbi David Meyer OBE, CEO of PaJeS said: “We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Dov Black. With his experience in the field of education and profound understanding of the significance of Jewish education, Dov is the perfect candidate to lead our organization into the future.

“We are confident that his vision, experience, and unwavering dedication will propel PaJes to new heights. We extend our warmest congratulations to Dov and express our deep appreciation to Sarah for her invaluable contributions. Together, we will continue to nurture and strengthen Jewish education for generations to come.”

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.
