Adam Science leadership scheme opens up
Twenty-somethings from the British Jewish community are being invited to apply for the new Adam Science leadership programme, replacing the previous one-year course with an optional three-month version.
Following a rethink of the 23-year-old programme, which in the past took 12 youngsters, organisers say up to 50 people can now attend a broader foundation course focusing on Jewish communities in Britain, Europe and Israel, and their place in the wider voluntary sector.
Held over three months, with a meeting every month, participants would then have the choice of applying for a further advanced course, involving mentoring from community leaders.
Named after a promising young lay leader who was killed in a car accident, the programme was run for 20 years by UJIA, but in 2011 was taken over by Lead, the leadership development division of the Jewish Leadership Council.
Lead’s Karen Danker said: “We’re excited about it. When something’s been running for a long time it’s good to take a break, shake it up a bit.”

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.
