DISTINGUISHED PATRONS JOIN AJEX

Hon Vice Admiral The Lord Sterling who stood down earlier this year after seven years as president of AJEX has become one of a group of high profile personalities from the community, the military and the world of security who have become patrons of AJEX.

The patrons will be acting as ambassadors to promote Jewish veterans and spread the word about the Jewish contribution to our armed forces and defence of the country.

“It is so important that we raise awareness of the price paid by the

Jewish community in times of conflict and service continuing to the present day,” said National Chairman, Mike Bluestone.

“I am delighted that the following have accepted our invitations to become our firs National Patrons: Lt General Richard Nugee, Hon V Adm Lord Sterling, Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, former Defence Secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind, distinguished lawyer and security expert, Lord Carlile, Lord Beecham, Baroness Henig, and Colonel Sir Lloyd Dorfman.

“All our new patrons are enthusiastic about the work of AJEX and the wider Jewish military family and we welcome them to our team. They bring with them a wealth of experience in a wide range of disciplines and they are eager to support our work.”
