Zionist Federation's first female executive director quits within weeks

Mrs Bergen has since joined PJ Library UK — the charity which sends free Jewish children’s books to families — as development director.

At the time of her ZF appointment, she said:"The values of Zionism and the ZF are something that really speaks to my core and to be able to have a leading influence over the way this conversation is had inside and outside the Jewish community is an opportunity I am really excited to take on."

This week, she said the ZF role “didn’t work out. I’m very happy at PJ Library.”
