Jewish News round-up

Hi all,

1) The elections of the Presidency of the board of deputies is over and Marie Van Der Zyl won. The vote was done using the single transferable vote. So we like proportional representation .

 2)George Osborne, former Chancellor and now newspaper editor,  is officially Jewish according to a Beth Din (as his brother was undertaking a conversion , but discovered his maternal grandmother was Jewish ).

3 )Dina Brawer , of Sephardi (Italian /Moroccan) heritage and Chabad by conviction ,  became the first Orthodox Jewish female Rabbi or Rabba: Her husband Dr  Rabbi Naftali Brawer was formerly Rabbi of Borehamwood and Elstree Synagogue . Unfortunately for British Jewry, the couple intend to move to Boston, America.



4)Oh and Israel won Eurovision. Next year in Jerusalem, as it were.😆
