Show off your skills at Jews Got Talent!
Judging panel for Jewish Care and Hebrew Order of David charity event includes producer Harvey Goldsmith and Jewish News editor Richard Ferrer
If you can sing like Shawn Mendes, sashay like Taylor Swift or put the Strictly professionals to shame, then why not show off your skills at Jews Got Talent?
The annual fundraising event, which last year raised £6,000 for charity, is holding auditions for this year’s event on 22 September in Golders Green.
Successful participants will then compete at the live finals in February, in front of a packed audience and panel of stellar judges, including Jewish News editor, Richard Ferrer, and music producer Harvey Goldsmith, who has worked with major artists including Queen, Elton John, U2, Madonna and The Rolling Stones.
Hosted by writer Ivor Baddiel, Jews Got Talent is presented by the Hebrew Order of David in aid of Jewish Care, and is now in its third year.
Last year, winner Shelly Chitiyat received a standing ovation for her performance of Papa, Can You Hear Me from the film Yentl.
Fellow singer, Yoni Shine, 11, took the runners-up prize.
Organiser Stuart Stepsky added: “We are all looking forward to seeing everyone on the 23 February 2020 for the live finals.”

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.
