“@LBC should apologise, and take @mrjamesob off air.” - VP @AndrewGilbert1 See our full statement below 👇

A real privilege of my role as @BoardofDeputies president is meeting the incredible charities powering Jewish life. @ChaiCancerCare is an inspiring model of positivity in the support they give people to take on and beat cancer. Keep up the amazing work, Louise and Victoria!

Big thank you to outgoing @GermanAmbUK @MiguelBergerAA. Thank you for your service to UK-Germany bilateral ties and your friendship to @BoardofDeputies. Looking forward to working with successor @SusanneBaumann1. Stay in touch!

Last week’s report on the normalisation of antisemitism was shocking. This weekend I saw appalling footage of a young Jewish girl in London victimised simply for who she is. Hate like this cannot be ignored. Police must take a zero-tolerance approach to hate crimes. @CST_UK

A truly joyous @BoardofDeputies delegation to Essex and Redbridge over the last couple of days, meeting representatives of 7 synagogues and 3 schools. Thanks for all that you do and Am Yisrael Chai!

On this day, we mark 31 years since 85 people were killed and 300 injured in a joint Iranian and Hizbollah terrorist attack against the AMIA Jewish Community Centre in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1994.

A great honour to hear Keith and Aviva Siegel recount their experiences as hostages in Gaza. Board of Deputies attendees were Chief Executive Michael Wegier, Campaigns Officer Ariella Knoble-Gershon and Deputies David Katz and Shmuel Yosef Jacobson. Thank you @IsraelinUK for…

In this week's Community Briefing: Mann and Mordaunt launch Board of Deputies Antisemitism Commission report to combat 'shocking' antisemitism mailchi.mp/boardofdeputie…

Thanked the Prime Minister in person for his support for the @BoardofDeputies @LordJohnMann and @PennyMordaunt Commission on Antisemitism at today’s PMQs. We will continue to pursue the recommendations to get them implemented and build a society free of prejudice.

“We are extremely concerned that within days of the BBC’s damning report into their flawed documentary ‘Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone’, the CEO of news Deborah Turness appears to be obfuscating and minimising the BBC’s failings.” Our full statement:

Really lovely to catch up with @RNBlake, MP for Cities of London and Westminster, about community cohesion, tackling antisemitism, and @BoardofDeputies new British Jewish Culture Month in 2026. bod.org.uk/jewish-culture…

Really good to see Deputy Prime Minister @AngelaRayner at this evening’s @mhclg Summer Reception. Thanked her for her support, including on @BoardofDeputies Commission on Antisemitism, and looked ahead to next steps.

Wonderful to catch up with @SCoJeC (JCOS) colleagues yesterday at @BoardofDeputies HQ, discussing how to support our communities across Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Co-Chair of the Commission on Antisemitism @PennyMordaunt spoke to Sophy Ridge on Sky News about the practical steps proposed to tackle the problems of anti-Jewish hatred.

We were truly honoured that released hostages, Keith and Aviva Siegel came to meet our dedicated vigil volunteers who have been advocating for the release of the hostages for the past 21 months. Bring them home NOW 🎗️
