| Shalom friends,
The concept of a National Jewish Home in Palestine, as set forth in the Balfour Declaration, was approved by the League of Nations Council on July 24, 1922, in London.
The Jewish community in Britain is currently comprised of around 300,000 people who continue to thrive in their ability to integrate fully into society and, simultaneously, uphold their Jewish identity.
