United Synagogue youth group launches photo-led interactive tool for Pesach
Album shows iconic images of Jewish traditions from communities around the world 'to inspire Tribe members and their families to think about their own traditions ..'.
United Synagogue youth group Tribe has launched an interactive educational tool to be used at Pesach Seder focused on tradition.
The photo-led album for those aged 21 or under shows iconic images of Jewish traditions from communities around the world “to inspire Tribe members and their families to think about what their own traditions mean to them”.
One image shows a page from the Rothschild Haggadah in Italy, dated 1450, while another shows a Shabbat candle lighting from Geskel Salamon’s 1900 painting ‘The Blessing of the Sabbath Lights’.
Others show two members of the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce presenting a resident with a prize for her Chanukah decorations in 1953, while another shows the Scroll of Esther with coloured illustrations from Ferrara, Italy, dated 1616.
The interactive album prompts questions, including the meaning behind the images, and offers a selection of prizes such as vouchers or cookery classes to those who email explaining why their traditions are important to them.

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.
