The Charity Commission register lists current trustees only; past trusteeships and resignation dates are not published. The Hertsmere, Chief Rabbinate and Rabbi Sacks trusteeships are listed under one trustee record. The Redbridge chair is listed under a separate record; it is included because Companies House lists Michael Howard Goldstein, born July 1963, as a director of the same charitable company from 13 November 2024, and the older officer record below was a director of it from 1993 to 2004.

Former trusteeship

Companies House records him as a director of United Jewish Israel Appeal (charity 1060078, company 03295115) from 11 May 2000 to 14 March 2012.[9]

Companies House appointments

Companies House holds six officer records in the name Michael Howard Goldstein, all giving a birth month of July 1963 and British nationality. They are combined here for the following reasons.
