Essex Menorah run 400 attend Chanukah Drive In
Taking part in this year’s Menorah Run
Participant’s medal
Over 40 runners and cyclists of all ages braved the rain to take part in the annual Menorah Run in Essex on Sunday 13th December. The event, now in its 4th year, covers a 21k route around seven menorahs erected in the local area. This year, there was also the addition of a new cycle route to Trafalgar Square and back again, which cyclists including Kantor King Solomon Head Teacher, Hannele Reece taking part in the gruelling 52k cycle challenge.
The generous donations given by the community meant that this year’s event raised over £4000. In previous years, the money raised has been split between the three Jewish schools in the area, Kantor King Solomon High School, Clore Tikva and WIJPS, but this year due to the current situation it was decided that the money should be used to help families in need from these schools. There was also a food collection, where people donated dried goods. In total, over 40 hampers and shopping vouchers will be distributed from the money and food donated.

Great Ormond Street Hospital with donated toys
Heroic response to Camp Simcha toy drive
A community of Toy Drive superheroes came together to ensure Covid-19 didn’t stop children in hospitals receiving Camp Simcha toys this December.
With Covid-safe collections in schools, nurseries, cheders, synagogues and businesses, as well as community drop-off points and an online Amazon Wishlist, the response to Camp Simcha’s ‘Be a Hero, Donate a Toy for a Child in Hospital’ request was overwhelming.
As a result of this year’s annual Toy Drive, some 10,000 toys have now been delivered to over 120 hospital wards, hospices and community teams in London, Essex, Hertfordshire and Manchester.
Camp Simcha Head of Services Daniel Gillis said: “With hospital playrooms closed due to Covid, no visitors allowed and a one-parent only policy, it was more important than ever that our Toy Drive was a success this year.
“We are so grateful to all those who donated, collected and volunteered for us. We also had an amazing response to our Amazon Wishlist, which had items specially requested by hospitals.
“While we couldn’t hold our usual largescale packing event, we had small teams of volunteers and staff sorting the toys in a Covid-safe way over the course of two weeks.
“More volunteers then helped deliver these to hospitals, who were particularly pleased to receive them this year.”
Syreeta Gibbons, Healthcare Play Specialist at Homerton Hospital said: “I was a little worried that Covid-19 would impact the Toy Drive and the gifts and toys we would receive this year but Camp Simcha still managed to make it happen – because of these wonderful gifts, the children and young people will have a happy holiday season.”

Active or Passive investment funds? Are you invested in a failing passive?Vol 2
Responding to the growing appetite for passive investing from the general public, the next series of articles attempts to
1. Set out the differences between active and passive investment management. 2. Set out some of the reasoning behind why the passive fund market has seen rapid growth. 3. Encourage you to review your portfolio’s performance as there is growing evidence that UK stock market investors are being failed by passive funds.
We covered point 1 last week. Passive funds invest through a strategy that tracks a market-weighted index or portfolio. Active funds involve the manager making specific investments with the goal of outperforming an investment benchmark index.
SO WHICH OF THESE STRATEGIES MAKES INVESTORS MORE MONEY? You’d think a professional money manager’s capabilities would trump a basic index fund. But there’s plenty of research finding they don’t. Study after study (over decades) shows disappointing results for the active managers. Only a relatively smaller percentage of actively-managed collective funds consistently do better than passive index funds. Why?
PASSIVE INVESTING ADVANTAGES • Ultra-low fees: There’s nobody picking stocks, so oversight is much less expensive. Passive funds simply follow the index they use as their benchmark. • Transparency: It’s always clear which assets are in an index fund.
ACTIVE INVESTING DISADVANTAGES • Very expensive: Thomson Reuters Lipper pegs the average expense ratio at 1.4% for an actively managed equity fund, compared to only 0.6% for the average passive equity fund. Fees are higher because all that active buying and selling triggers transaction costs, not to mention that you’re paying the salaries of the analyst team researching equity picks. All those fees over decades of investing can kill returns. Active risk: Active managers are free to buy any investment they think would bring high returns, which is great when the analysts are right but terrible when they’re wrong.
SO WHY DO WE NEED ACTIVE FUNDS ? Much of the ‘evidence’ that passive beats active investing is oversimplifying something much more complex. Both exist for a reason, and a professional investor who understands this may blend both in a portfolio. What skews the findings on passives is that many active funds end up shadowing their benchmark contradicting their raison d’être.
ACTIVE INVESTING ADVANTAGES • Outperformance: Consistently outperforming funds do exist even if they are sometimes hard to find. • Flexibility: Active managers aren’t required to follow a specific index. They can buy those “diamond in the rough” stocks they believe they’ve found. • Hedging: Active managers can also hedge their bets using various techniques such as short sales or put options, and they’re able to exit specific stocks or sectors when the risks become too big. Passive managers are stuck with the stocks the index they track holds, regardless of how they are performing. PASSIVE INVESTING DISADVANTAGES • Too limited: Passive funds are limited to a specific index or predetermined set of investments with little to no variance; thus, investors are locked into those holdings, no matter what happens in the market. • Small returns: By definition, passive funds will pretty much never beat the market, even during times of turmoil, as their core holdings are locked in to track the market. Sometimes, a passive fund may beat the market by a little, but it will never post the big returns active managers crave unless the market itself booms. Active managers, on the other hand, can bring bigger rewards, although those rewards come with greater risk as well.
WHERE CAN YOU FIND OUTPERFORMANCE IN ACTIVE FUNDS ? Active funds tend to perform better in some markets rather others. Most of the research on passive funds focusses on the US equity market. It should not come as any surprise therefore that active funds have tended to underperform passive funds over a wide variety of durations in the US equity market. However in other markets the evidence has been less compelling. Moreover, active funds have tended to perform much better with i. small and mid-capitalised companies relative to the large capitalised companies and ii. emerging markets relative to developed economies suggesting active has advantages in areas which are less well known and researched.

Dame Fanny passes away aged 100
Dame Fanny Waterman passed away this week in a residential home in Ilkley at the age of 100.
Founder of the Leeds International Piano Competition in 1961, she remained chairman and artistic director until retiring in 2015. As President Emeritus she attended live concerts until 2020. 100th birthday plans were cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Internationally acclaimed pianists attended the most coveted prize in the piano world.

A notable performing career included the 1942 Proms. She then taught, giving masterclasses on six continents, appeared on television and radio, and compiled Piano Lessons that sold over three million copies.
Among her greatest achievements as a teacher was in the 1950s when she trained four Leeds pianists under the age of 11, Alan Schiller, Wendy Waterman, Kathleen Jones and Michael Roll, to perform piano concertos at London’s Royal Festival Hall.
Awarded an OBE in 1971 and CBE in 1999, she was appointed a Dame in 2005 in recognition of services to music.
Dame Fanny received the Freedom of the City of Leeds in 2004, became Harrogate International Festival’s president in 2009 and a Royal Philharmonic Society honorary member in 2010.
Dame Fanny is survived by sons, Robert and Paul, and six granddaughters.
Jewel prepares businesses for Brexit
The Jewel Foundation held a high level workshop for businesses which import and export to Europe.
Presented via zoom by the Head of International Trade of the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce the 1-hour session covered a wide range of topics including registration with the relevant authorities in both the UK and Europe, shipping requirements and the steps companies need to put in place to ensure they comply with the regulations.
With so much uncertainty about Brexit this workshop was welcomed by so many businesses especially those who trade online.
Participants joined from across the UK with a number of businesses networking and sharing ideas at the end of the session.
Simon Rose from Easy Gift Trading commented how much he appreciated Jewel arranging this session and how the presentation, given with such clarity and providing so much information, gave him the confidence that his business will manage Three well-known brands of cooking oil have been certified as kosher and parev by leading kashrus authority, Manchester Beth Din.
Crisp n’ Dry (one, two and three litres), Flora Sunflower Oil (975ml, one and two litres) and Mazola Corn Oil (one litre) have been added to the organisation’s growing list of certified kosher products.
Rabbi Hillel Royde, rabbinical co-ordinator at Manchester Beth Din, said: “We are pleased to add Crisp n’ Dry, Flora Sunflower Oil and Mazola Corn Oil to our
20th Finchley scouts make their own doughnuts
During Chanukah the 20th Finchley Scout group got together on zoom and all together followed a recipe for doughnuts - there were many happy children, and lots of yummy doughnuts. It is a tradition in the group for all the children to get together on Chanukah and make their own doughnuts (usually at shul with all the parents present), however this year they decided that nothing would stop that tradition, and instead did it over zoom. with the new regulations.
Jewel worked closely with the Chamber of Commerce before the session, to ensure they understood the issues that local businesses are facing, and they are looking forward to continue working in partnership with the Chamber to support local businesses.
The Jewel Foundation which provides employment, training and business support to the Manchester Community and beyond has held a number of events in recent months including a recruitment information session with Greater Manchester Police, and is currently supporting close to 150 residents with online training. They are also holding a “Job Searching in a Virtual World” workshop to help their job seekers and are also planning a series of business support events in the coming months.

Jewish Care over the festive break
Jewish Care volunteer delivering meals
Whilst some of us take some time off over the coming week, Jewish Care services stay open for the whole community. Care staff across Jewish Care homes will be working to support and care for residents as they do all year round. Public transport will be closed on Christmas Day so care staff who would normally travel to work by taxi and with the help of volunteers on Christmas Day, will be driven to work safely by Jewish Care volunteers and members of staff this year instead.
Volunteers will also continue to deliver Meals on Wheels to older, vulnerable people at home in the community over the break. Since the pandemic began, Jewish Care chefs have made over 36,000 Meals on Wheels which have been delivered by volunteers with the help of the 600 new volunteers who joined the team of 3,000 volunteers.
Telephone befriender volunteers, who have made over 35,000 calls since the first lockdown, will continue talking to older people at home on the phone and virtually to help them to stay connected. Jewish Care’s Helpline, which has received over 20,000 enquiries over the last 12 months, will also stay open to give help and advice to the community who rely on the support.
JC Presents… virtual events and social groups set up to move the charity’s community services online at the start of the pandemic, will continue to provide stimulating opportunities for older people in the community to connect and socialise with one another online over the holiday season. The Chatty Café will meet on 28 December, which can be a particularly lonely time of year for many older people in the community at home. The Knit, Stitch and Natter group, attended by older members of the community and Jewish Care volunteers, will also be meeting and chatting on Zoom, whilst they knit twiddle muffs which help to provide sensory stimulation for residents at Jewish Care homes who are living with advanced dementia.
Ann Crook, one member of the Knit, Stitch and Natter group, said, “I really enjoy the group, it’s great to meet new people, to learn new things and do something useful for people who might need it in the care homes.”
Another member of the group, Jeanette says, “I lost my husband three months ago. Knitting and the group takes my mind off it and I find it very therapeutic. It helps me that I have something to look forward to.”
Jewish Care’s Chief Executive, Daniel Carmel-Brown, says, “Jewish Care’s Chief Executive, Daniel Carmel-Brown, says, “The work in our care homes doesn’t stop over the holiday season. It has been the most challenging year and we owe a debt of gratitude to care staff in our homes for their hard work and dedication, and for continuing to work to protect and support our residents whilst putting themselves at risk this year during the pandemic. They continue to show their selflessness, as they work over the Bank Holidays.
“We are also here for older vulnerable people at home in the community who need us every day, whether that be delivering hot Meals on Wheels or connecting through our befriending service and virtual events programme. Our Helpline and Social Work & Community Support Team are also on the phone or online, for those who need support or advice.
“I’d also like to thank the Jewish Care volunteers and members of staff who will be driving care staff to their shifts on Christmas Day and all our volunteers who make it possible for us to support the community at this challenging time of year.”
