Ones to watch
So much has changed in the five years since we last ran our illustrious Forty Under 40 initiative in association with the Jewish Leadership Council. Indeed, under lockdown, 2015 seems a lifetime ago.
When we finally emerge from this virus twilight zone our community’s prosperity will, in no small measure, be the responsibility of those we begin to showcase this week on pages 12 and 13.
Excelling in fields including politics, religion, education, charity and the arts, their accomplishments provide a reassuring moral boost when it’s needed most. It might not seem so today as we remain separated, isolated and frustrated, but there is so much to aspire to and reach for.

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.
