Voice of Jewish Sport
WHILE AVRAM Grant is reportedly still waiting to find out if he’s got the job to become the new manager of the Ghanaian national team, his CV has been further boosted by winning a trophy at his new club, BEC Tero. The Israeli guided the side to a 2-0 victory in Thailand’s Toyota Cup Final, defeating Buriram United 2-0. He said: “I’m delighted for the players, the supporters and the owner. To beat the holders so convincingly is a great achievement. The atmosphere was as good as I’ve experienced.” Even happier was the club’s owner, Brian Marcar, who said: “We have a lot of good young players in Thailand but what we don’t have is good teachers, that’s why it’s so important to attract people like Avram Grant to come and work here.” Whether he can keep hold of him is another question.
ROY NISSANY, who’s bidding to become Israel’s first Formula 1 driver, will make his test debut in a Formula 1 car after receiving an invitation from team Sauber. Given a full day to drive the Sauber C31 in Valencia, Spain, the 19-year-old completed his second FIA Formula 3 European Championship season at the weekend and said: “I’m delighted to have the chance to test the Sauber C31, and I will put lots of efforts into it to do a good job.”
AN EVENT not to be missed is fast approaching, as two former heads of the Football Association are set to address an audience at Westminster Synagogue. The event, which sees the Jewish News as media partners, will see David Bernstein and Lord Triesman talk about a wide range of topics, including Qatar hosting the 2022 World Cup and the ‘Yid’ debate. All proceeds from the evening on 3 November will go to the Memorial Scrolls Trust. For ticket info, call:

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.
