VOICE OF THE JEWISH NEWS: The future is now!
Back in 2010, this newspaper launched an initiative called Forty Under 40, which set out to pinpoint individuals who appeared poised to shape the future direction of Anglo-Jewry through their work in politics, charity, education and other spheres of influence.

Readers were invited to nominate individuals under 40 who deserved to be included in our top 40. After months of voting and intense debate, our winner was named as Oxford graduate Elliott Goldstein, under whose leadership Limmud became what many still describe as “British-Jewry’s greatest export”.
Elliott has become even busier and more in demand in recent years. He currently works as a headhunter and partner at the Executive Search Firm, while communally he occupies senior roles at JW3, Norwood and the London School of Jewish Studies.
All this, and he is still under 40! Well, five years seemed like the perfect time to have elapsed to do it all again! On pages four and five of this week’s issue, we launch the 2015 version of Forty Under 40 – in association with the Jewish Leadership Council.
This time around we’re also launching Twenty-Five Under 25, emphasising and celebrating the communal achievements of those still in education and recent graduates.
We’ve compiled an expert panel to whittling down your’ nominations and add a few of their own. No easy task! So nominate now at jewish news.co.uk – and help make our panel’s task even tougher!

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.
