Nottingham J-Soc pitch in to Save a Child’s Heart
Love may have been in the air last week but, for the University of Nottingham’s generous J-Soc, mending the hearts of children in need of desperate cardiovascular surgery was the only date worth caring about.
Nottingham J-Soc‘s fundraising week for Israeli charity Save a Child’s Heart saw the team selling raffle tickets, hosting a charity pre-drinks party and sitting down to a Valentine’s themed Friday Night Dinner with all proceeds going to cardiac care for children from developing countries.
J-Soc President Jordan Rinsler: “I am so proud of every single committee member for all the incredible hard work they put into the fundraiser for SACH. Also a big thank you to everyone who donated and came along to any of our events. The money is going to a really worthwhile cause and we are delighted to have been a part of that.”
Campaign officers Daniel Pittal, Daniella Dines and Laurie Hirschowitz were also thrilled to have the chance to raise funds for “a very worthy campaign for a very worthy cause that puts all politics aside and is something everyone from all backgrounds can relate to and feel a part of.”

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.
