Voice of the Jewish News: The future is here
This week's editorial focuses on the return of not only 40 Under 40 but also 25 Under 25 and 18 Under 18
Five years ago Jeremy Corbyn was just an unruly backbencher and Donald Trump a narcissistic property investor, nobody had heard the term Brexit and Jewish News published its most recent 40 Under 40 list of community movers and shakers.
Today the world of 2014 seems almost unrecognisable, making this week’s return of not only 40 Under 40 but also 25 Under 25 and 18 Under 18 such a revealing and intriguing proposition.
In conjunction with the Jewish Leadership Council, we once again aim to pinpoint those who appear poised to occupy senior roles within communal organisations as well as those likely to shape the direction and perceptions of Anglo-Jewry in fields such as politics, charity and education.
Jewish News readers are invited to nominate individuals they believe to be deserving of inclusion in our final list of 40 individuals aged under 40, which will be published – with great fanfare – across four special issues from February 2020.
Nominations will also come from our panel, selected from across our diverse and dynamic community.
The young and ambitious individuals who appear on our 40, 25 and 18 lists will likely find themselves shaping and defining the direction of Anglo-Jewry in the years to come. That’s no small responsibility. We look forward to discovering who they are.

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.
