United Synagogue President re-elected for another four-year term
Michael Goldstein remains at the helm of the movement while a new trustee joins the organisation
The United Synagogue’s President has been re-elected for a second term at the helm of the organisation.
Michael Goldstein was unopposed in his bid to lead the Orthodox synagogue movement, for which he will serve another four year term.
The decision was made at the United Synagogue’s Council meeting this week, where Maxwell Nisner was also re-elected as treasurer, as-well-as Fleurise Lewis and Saul Taylor, both re-elected as Trustees. Claire Lemer stepped down after two four-year terms as a Trustee, and is replaced by Rachel Hartog, who served a total of 7 seven years on the council of Stanmore and Canons Park Synagogue, and 6 years on the US council.
Steven Wilson, the United Synagogue’s Chief Executive, said: “We congratulate and welcome back Michael, Maxwell, Fleurise and Saul on their appointment to serve a second term. We also give a warm welcome to Rachel as she joins our Trustee board and we look forward to benefiting from her experience. Please join me in wishing them all Mazal Tov and thanking them for their ongoing commitment to the United Synagogue. We thank Claire for her eight years of outstanding service and look forward to finding ways the organisation can continue to benefit from her wisdom.”

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.
