Former Netanyahu advisor to join Lord Finkelstein for online series at JW3
Latest in the Global Diaspora Series will feature Sara Greenberg and Lord Daniel Finkelstein
A former Israeli intelligence analyst and a British Jewish peer are to headline a free online event this evening to discuss the most pressing issues facing the future of the Jewish people.
Hosted by the Jewish culture centre JW3, the latest Global Diaspora Series event at 8pm will feature US-born Israeli Sara Greenberg and Times columnist Lord (Daniel) Finkelstein, and it is supported by the Genesis Philanthropy Group (GPG).
Greenberg has served as an advisor to the Prime Minister of Israel with a ‘world communities’ brief, after having served in an elite intelligence unit in the Israel Defence Forces. She has also worked in the private and charity sectors.
Previous Global Diaspora Series events have focused on the most pertinent issues facing Jewish communities worldwide and featured luminaries such as former Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, US-Israeli entrepreneur and author Tal Keinan and Hollywood producer Howard Rosenman.
This evening’s event, which anyone can join, will hear Greenberg and Finkelstein discuss issues such as strained diaspora-Israel relations and the impact of the Holocaust on the Jewish identity of future generations.
“We look forward to bringing together these two outstanding political thinkers to broaden and deepen our perspectives,” said JW3 chief executive Raymond Simonson.
“Their different backgrounds, coupled with their track-record of insightful analysis on the most urgent issues of the day, is sure to kickstart a fascinating and powerful conversation for everyone to participate in.”
- Advance booking for this online-only event is essential and can be done on the JW3 website.

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.
