Jewish Care invites Dame Tessa Jowell for anniversary Shabbat dinner
Dame Tessa Jowell is to be the guest of Jewish Care’s 25th anniversary young professionals Friday night dinner.
The front running Labour party candidate for Mayor of London and former culture secretary will join the organisation’s younger members to mark a quarter of a century of Jewish Care.
The event will take place on May 15, and tables of 10 -12 are available as are individual tickets at the cost of £35 per head.
Chair of Jewish Care’s Young Professionals Committee Steven Altmann-Richer said “We are delighted that Dame Tessa Jowell has agreed to join us for this special Shabbat dinner celebrating 25 years of Jewish Care.”
“I want to encourage all young professionals to come along for what will be a great night and a fantastic opportunity to support Jewish Care, who for the past 25 years have been supporting thousands of older and vulnerable people in our community every week”.
Last May, Dame Tessa Jowell was the guest of honour at Jewish Care’s Women of Distinction lunch where she praised the work of Jewish Care and the support they receive from across the community.
The Labour politician called Jewish Care “a shining example of the values and character of Jewish people, who have contributed enormously to this country and so successfully integrated into British life in many different ways.
Over the years you have grown to become the exceptional charity you are today. I would like to commend you for your hard work and dedication, and the rounded approach you take to providing help and support.”

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.
