Voice of Jewish sport
AND SO the wait is almost over. No, not to see whether Spurs can finally finish above Arsenal in the Premier League, not even to see if Arsene Wenger has actually spent any money this summer (though hopefully by the team you read this he has). Sunday morning sees the return of Sunday morning Jewish football and teams are chomping at the bit to get their season underway.
Faithold A were the team to beat in the Premier Division last season, though Hendon A manager David Garbacz believes his team will be just that this season. Never backwards in coming forwards, he said: “We expect to win it and we will be going all out to win it.”
There aren’t as many boasts being made in the lower divisions, though there are three bosses in Division One who believe they’re capable of coming out on top – Brady B’s Josh Dagul, Shirley Park’s David Lusman and Hendon B’s Aryeh Goldring.
Division Two could be interesting, not least because Oakwood B’s Ian Tussie fears the sack if he doesn’t deliver the goods. Hoping to stop him doing that, (though surely not wanting to be responsible for him being shown his P45) are the likes of Blizzard Storm, the two FC Team sides and AC Mill Hill.
The final division is notoriously hard to predict, not least because it features new teams who are an unknown force at this
level. Having said that, it’s the old(er) faces of Hendon C and L’Equipe who are setting their sights the highest, though Jacob Kadoch, the manager of new boys King Crown says they’re “Aiming to win the league by playing football in the right way.”
However, the League’s early excitement is provided by the new teams and the names they’ve given themselves.
So step forward Jewdinese. Another fascinating season awaits!

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.
