The Board of Deputies is asking British Jews to help develop a version of its manifesto for politicians in the hope of informing local councillors about issues of concern to the community.
Elections will take place next May in areas with large Jewish populations, including every borough in London and for authorities covering Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Hertsmere and Epping Forest.
Ahead of this year’s general election and polls for devolved parliaments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the Board published a document giving information on global issues such as Israel and the Middle East, the Holocaust and antisemitism.
It also included details of aspects of Jewish life in Britain relating to housing, welfare issues, health and social care.
