“The work of JWA remains heartbreakingly essential for our community, offering professional and compassionate support to Jewish women and their children who have suffered the most awful abuse or violence. I heard first hand from JWA’s frontline workers that the current spike in antisemitism has left some of their service users feeling yet more vulnerable and therefore less able to access the support they need. Ahead of their awareness raising Shabbat at the end of this month, it is clear that JWA’s work is sadly vital for many, who should not hesitate to use its services.” Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis, November 2023

We are honoured that the Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis is our patron.

He recorded a special video message for International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women 2018 in support of our work.
