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.”
