Can they build a Passover model? Yes they Can-aan!
Meet the shortlisted finalists of our festive-themed competition in partnership with Tribe…
Seven budding builders have now been shortlisted after designing and building Pesach-themed models for the Jewish News-Tribe competition launched earlier this month.
More than 80 youngsters retold the dramatic story of the splitting of the Red Sea and the advent of the Ten Plagues with building blocks, construction sets and Lego kits.
Now they have been whittled down to the finalists, with one winning entry from the primary and secondary categories set to receive a 500-piece Lego set.
Tomor Belovski, fieldworker for Tribe, the United Synagogue’s youth division, said: “We have some extremely talented builders and architects in our community and are thrilled to reveal the finalists today.
“With more than 80 entries, the judges had an exceptionally difficult time whittling them down as the standard was so high. Thank you to everyone who entered.”
The winners – who will be revealed next week – will be picked by Lyla and Eli, the children of Jewish News editor Richard Ferrer, and Motti and Sara, nephew and niece of news editor Justin Cohen, along with a representative from Tribe.

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.
