Standing Up for the Hostages

The Board continues to organise a number of activities to advocate for the release of the hostages, from large rallies and gatherings at Trafalgar Square, Hyde Park, and 10 Downing Street, to digital campaigns like our #SederSeatForAHostage campaign over Pesach, the #BeTheirLight initiative for Chanukah, speaking tours, and joint events with survivors, hostage families, and communal partners.

The Board of Deputies is the British Jewish community’s only democratically elected, cross-communal representative body.

Established in 1760, more than 320 Deputies sit at its heart, chosen directly by the synagogues and organisations they serve – from congregations and youth movements to welfare charities and regional councils – giving every corner of our community a voice.
