Last year was an enormously busy year for us at Gesher and for our community as a whole. As we start 2023 and reflect on the achievements of 2022 there are two members of the Gesher community we would like to extend a special congratulations to. Firstly, Rama Venchard, our Chair of Governors, who received an MBE in King Charles II’s first New Years Honours List for his services to education. And secondly, Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, who has received a knighthood in recognition of his interfaith initiatives, work with the Jewish community, and involvement in education programmes, of which we at Gesher have been lucky enough to be a part of. Mazal tov from Gesher!
