Chai Cancer Care takes Rosh Hashanah gift sale online with week-long fundraiser
Charity will run week-long gift sale event with prizes on offer including a lunch for two with TV star Judge Rob Rinder, while a pop-up artisan market will be held next Sunday
Community charity Chai Cancer Care is taking its annual Rosh Hashanah gift sale online, with a week-long fundraising effort.
More than 50 vendors will be offering items ranging from homeware and judaica to baby clothing and artwork, with exclusive offers also on offer.
For £10, supporters can enter a prize draw, with the opportunity to win £500 in cash, a lunch for two with TV star Judge Rob Rinder or a Rose Gold Diamond Bracelet.
In addition to the online shopping event, which runs from 7-14 September, there will be a socially distanced outdoor Artisan Market at Chai’s Hendon-based centre, on Sunday 13.
Debra Zender, Chai Society Co-chai said that “due to Covid-19, we have had to pivot and adapt and I am delighted to say that the Gift Sale is back, bigger and better than ever and will go live online for one week.
“These two events are going to be amazing and we have been overwhelmed with the level of support shown to us by our vendors.”
Last year, more than 900 people attended Chai’s Rosh Hashanah Gift Sale with £50,000 pounds raised towards its services. Amid the pandemic, the charity is urging supporters to participate, after a significant drop in donations, but a rise in demand for its services.

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.
