Celebrating Jewish life across the UK
I will:
champion the unique heritage of Jewry in the UK by showcasing our many contributions to British society;
- promote the diverse Jewish ways of life to both Jews and non-Jews by obtaining available grants and funding to enhance this work;
- engage, protect and promote Jewish faith schools so as to ensure that families have a choice, as well as strengthening our ties with PaJeS (Partnerships for Jewish Schools);
- celebrate the work of our youth organisations and increase awareness of the vital contribution which they make;
- champion the wonderful diversity of Jewish practice and identity across the full spectrum of our entire community;
- advocate for the improvement of nationwide Holocaust education beginning in all schools;
- protect the rights of Jews to practice their faith without being disadvantaged in the fields of education and employment;
- enhance social cohesion amongst other faith communities by participating in meaningful interfaith engagement;
- sustain our special relationship with Israel by emphasising the centrality of Israel as part of our identity. This will include supporting Israel-related initiatives (such as Israel 70) together with other communal institutions.
