Shuker for Pres?

Hi all,

We in the Jewish community have another election result coming soon,  that is the election of the President of Board of Jewish deputies. 

For the ignorant Corbyn types who with typical vile attacks suggested that this doesn't represent Jews, the board consists of 300  deputies elected by Jews from synagogues - from Orthodox, Conservative, Reform and Sephardi and other affiliated organisations. They in turn elect a President and other officials.

What's interesting is that Sephardi/ Iraqi Jew , Edwin Shuker is a candidate for President. 

"A 38-year track record in serving the Jewish community, which commenced in 1980 with moving to Israel, followed by the setting up of the Sephardic Educational Centre in the Old City of Jerusalem, that served dozens of communities around the world and connected them to Israel. 

Over the years I was involved with a myriad of organisations and institutions: founding member and VP of the World Sephardi Congress; former World President of Justice for Jews from Arab Countries; former national Director of the American Sephardi Federation; former vice-chair of Limmud International and currently on its advisory board. A trustee and adviser to numerous UK Jewish charities and organisations. Former vice-president of the European Jewish Congress and currently the special envoy to the president for Interfaith and Refugees.

Should I be elected as president, I will prioritise this honour at the expense of all else and dedicate whatever time and energy the position requires."
