World Jewish Congress has named London based Robert Singer, director general of World Ort, as its fourth secretary general in under six years.
The WJC is an international organisation which represents Jewish communities and organisations in over 100 countries.
Mr Singer will replace New Yorker and foreign affairs analyst Dan Diker who resigned in December 2012 after two and a half years citing “administrative reasons”.
In the role before Mr Diker was South African born Michael Schneider who took the position in September 2007. Mr Schneider replaced American Stephen Herbits who became secretary general in 2005.
