EUROPEAN CANTORS ASSOCIATION The future of synagogue music Patrons: Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis Cantors Naftali Herstik, Joseph Malovany Convenor: Alex Klein. CEE Branch Head: David Schwezoff Annual Meeting of the European Cantors Association Friday 11 July 2014. 13.20 Bethlen Square Synagogue Budapest Agenda 1. Present 2. Apologies 3. Annual Report including Newsletter and financial reports 4. Appointment of Newsletter editor and other roles 5. The future – Discussion as to what each chazzan will do in his own area and environment and how ECA can help? 6. AOB The European Cantors Association (ECA) was launched by Cantor Joseph Malovany in July 2012 in Manchester at the 7th annual European Cantors Convention. • ECA was created as a framework within which cantors themselves can work individually and together to raise their profile and standing in the community. • This has inspired and enabled cantors to become active in working with the younger generation, engaging in meaningful dialogue with rabbis and lay synagogue leadership and arranging study days and conventions to improve their skills and knowledge. • The ECA slogans are ‘the future of synagogue music’ and ‘no more blame, let’s get on with the game’. Cantors today realise that unless they take the viability of their future into their own hands, the timeless and traditional cantorial music loved by centuries of Jews may be lost forever. Membership £10 (or $15 or E15) per annum. Download Membership Form ECA Annual Report - July 2013 – June 2014 Convenor of ECA Alex Klein would like to thank Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, Chief Rabbi of the UK and Commonwealth (who became a Patron in 2014) and his office for their support and encouragement in all that ECA is doing to teach and encourage nusach hatefilla in synagogues in the UK and Europe.

SIMON WIESENTHAL CENTER wiesenthal.com/TopTenAntiSemitic2019 #TopTenAntiSemitic2019 wiesenthal.com/TopTenAntiSemitic2019 JEREMY CORBYN-LED UK LABOUR PARTY ”How complicit in prejudice would a leader of Her Majesty’s opposition have to be in order to be considered 1 unfit for high office?” - Ephraim Mirvis, UK Chief Rabbi In a year awash with anti-Semitism on both sides of the Atlantic, no one has done more to mainstream anti-Semitism into the political and social life of a democracy than the Jeremy Corbyn-led Labour Party. Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis warned that anti-Jewish racism was a new poison that had taken root in the party. In the words of MP Louise Ellman, “How many Jewish members have been bullied, abused and driven out?” Members and staff who have dared to speak out against the hate were purged, but not those who declared ‘Heil Hitler’ and ’F*ck the Jews’ or ‘Jews are the problem’. No wonder a poll of the Jewish Leadership Council found that 47% of respondents said they would consider leaving the UK if Corbyn became prime minister. Postscript: The SWC released its #1 choice for its Top Ten 2019 list five days before the UK election. Corbyn’s Labour was trounced by PM Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party in the December 12th elections. Some analysts say that anti-Semitism impacted the voters. Corbyn has resigned as leader of the Labour Party. DEADLY DOMESTIC TERRORISTS TARGET JEWS IN THE US AND GERMANY 2 In Jersey City, NJ, a kosher market was the target of domestic terrorists. David Anderson and Francine Graham were adherents of the Black Hebrew Israelites hate group.

Doing God Reading the UK General Election Campaign (November 6 – December 12, 2019) Through the Lens of Religion
Doing God Reading the UK General Election Campaign (November 6 – December 12, 2019) through the Lens of Religion Ryan Service, Pontifical Gregorian University, Italy Abstract This study evaluates the relationship between political engagement and religious interest in British society. The paper examines this relationship through the lens of the general election campaign in December 2019 in which religious leaders, religious identity, and religious intolerance were part of the assessment of electability in relation to parties and their leaders. Analyzing specific interventions of the Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby it is asked whether 2019’s UK general election evidences the continuing role of senior religious leaders within political debate and whether this is continuous with a particular form of religious establishment. Keywords: general election, politics, electoral campaign, UK parliament, establishment An Essay Contemporary society operates as if affective-neutrality were a sufficient value-orientation for things to work; it may yet discover that there are other necessities, the virtues nurtured essentially in local communities, in religious contexts, which in the long run will be shown to be as indispensable to the society of the future as they were to the communities of the past (Wilson: 52). Recalling Alistair Campbell’s well known adage of the New Labour governments (1997– 2010) that “we don’t do God” (Brown) in the light of the United Kingdom’s 2019 general election introduces a tone of bitter irony. The statement raised in its own time the question of 1 Doing God state interference in religious affairs, however ill-defined those affairs were.

A Connected Commonwealth
A CONNECTED COMMONWEALTH The Commonwealth Service A Celebration of the Commonwealth Monday 11th March 2019, 3.00 pm Photo credit: Rex Features Commonwealth Day Message 2019 Commonwealth Day has a special significance this year as we mark the 70th anniversary of the London Declaration, when nations of the Commonwealth agreed to move forward together as free and equal members. The vision and sense of connection that inspired the signatories has stood the test of time, and the Commonwealth continues to grow, adapting to address contemporary needs. Today, many millions of people around the world are drawn together because of the collective values shared by the Commonwealth. In April last year, I welcomed the leaders of our 53 nations to Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, and we all witnessed how the Commonwealth vision offers hope, and inspires us to find ways of protecting our planet, and our people. We are able to look to the future with greater confidence and optimism as a result of the links that we share, and thanks to the networks of cooperation and mutual support to which we contribute, and on which we draw. With enduring commitment through times of great change, successive generations have demonstrated that whilst the goodwill for which the Commonwealth is renowned may be intangible, its impact is very real. We experience this as people of all backgrounds continue to find new ways of expressing through action the value of belonging in a connected Commonwealth. I hope and trust that many more will commit to doing so this Commonwealth Day.
