About Young UJIA

Young UJIA engages hundreds of young professionals with the work of UJIA through a series of social, educational, networking and fundraising events. We provide a place for people aged 21-35 to contribute to the UK Jewish community and the people of Israel - to have their say and get involved. Previous events have included an audience with Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks, a beach party at the award-winning Grove Hotel in Hertfordshire and a business networking wine-tasting evening hosted by BDO Stoy Hayward.

There are six dynamic groups under the Young UJIA umbrella:

Networking committees
• The Business Forum presents exclusive panels and networking events for young people across the business community. (Chair: Alex Waiman.)
• The Jewish Media Network (JMN) brings together Jewish professionals working in the media, from newspapers and magazines, to television, PR, publishing and advertising. (Co-chairs: Emma Barnett and Stephanie Thwaites.)
• The Young Property Group holds exclusive networking events and hosts high profile speakers to bring together young people in the property industry (Chair: Jonathan Moradoff.)

Social and educational committees
• Y-UJIA is open to the whole community, hosting a range of social and educational events. (Co-chairs: Deborah Berwald and Laurence Marshbaum.)
• Young UJIA Shalom is dedicated to welcoming people from across the UK and across the globe into the heart of the London Jewish community. (Co-chairs: Carmel Brown and Paula Lejbowicz.)
