In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding. There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all. You can make a quick and easy one-off or monthly contribution of £5, £10, £20 or any other sum you’re comfortable with.ġ00% of your donation will help us continue celebrating our community, in all its dynamic diversity.īeing a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. It also proudly shows the rest of Britain the vibrancy and rich culture of modern Jewish life. Like a synagogue, it’s where people turn to feel part of something bigger. Jewish News holds our community together and keeps us connected. The principle of knowing when to desist from work pressures is embedded in our heritage’s guiding principles.Īs Maimonides points out regarding the observance of Shabbat, that when it comes to safeguarding the sanctity of life, it is better to render one Shabbat secular and not incur fatal injury even Shabbat and Yom Kippur do not stand in the way of our health. It is the little Pharaoh in us that threatens to push us beyond reasonable effort. Pharaoh infamously chided Moses, who campaigned for a three-day holiday for the Israelites to celebrate before God, telling him: “You are lazy, simply lazy, that is why you say, let us go and serve God!”
However positive it is to have ambition, one must take time out and not push oneself unhealthily to achieve. The feelings of the individual as to whether they can bear hunger, or perhaps even the fulfilment of other mitzvot, even against doctors’ opinion is a valid discussion in the 20th century’s rabbinic responsa. This places mental health in a league of its own. Proverbs proclaim: “ Lev yodea marat nafsho”, literally, the bitterness of one’s spirit. However, that does not equate with self-harm. Yom Kippur is a day of self-infliction that includes, for anyone over bar and batmitzvah age, deprivation of food and drink.
