The Israel Pages
How can you still see, feel, hear and learn about Israel, when you can't go there? Andrew Gilbert's dynamic directory with UJIA will give you virtually everything you need!
2020 is a year unlike any other in so many ways. For young British Jews, it sadly means no Israel Tour, no Birthright, no Onward Israel and, perhaps, no Israel family summer holidays. We used to have resource centres, libraries and books.
Today, we have the internet and it is jam-packed with ways that you can find the most amazing things about Israel.
Jewish News, in partnership with UJIA, has put together a selection of the most comprehensive collection of all things Israel – over these pages you’ll find a taster; the full directory is available at www.jewishnews.co.uk.

It will be updated over time, to remain a resource for you, your family and our community.

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.

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.
