Board of Deputies of British Jews
The
Board of Deputies of British Jews is the main representative body of British Jewry. Founded in
1760 as a joint committee of the
Sephardi (Spanish and Portuguese) and
Ashkenazi (Central and Eastern European) Jewish communities in
London it has since become a widely recognised forum for the views of the different sectors of the
UK Jewish community.
Currently lead by Chief Executive Neville Nagler, the Board receives Deputies elected by individual synagogues, confederations of synagogues and other organisations within the Jewish community such as charities and youth groups.
