Sandra Ruth Dangoor (also known as Sandra Dangoor) is a British former City of London stockbroker and philanthropist of Iraqi Jewish descent. She holds trusteeships and advisory roles with organisations focused on Sephardi/Mizrahi heritage, medical care in Israel, and Jewish communal advocacy, and serves on the Advisory Board of the Alliance of Rabbis in Islamic States.[1]
Career and communal roles
Sandra Dangoor was educated at the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle (1961–1972) and graduated with a BA Honours in Business Studies from the University of Westminster (1973–1979).[2]
She began her career as a graduate trainee at Capel Cure Myers (1977–1980) and later worked as a private client stockbroker and member of the London Stock Exchange at A. J. Bekhor & Co. (1980–1989). She subsequently worked in private banking at Israel Discount Bank (2006–2007) and as an Associate FCSI and self-employed private client execution and advisory stockbroker at Walker Crips Stockbrokers (1998–2018).[2]
In 1997 she stood as a prospective parliamentary candidate for the Referendum Party in Westminster North.[3] She has also volunteered as a Games Maker at the London 2012 Olympics and as a volunteer and ambassador for the charity Best Beginnings (since 2018).[2]
She is a trustee of HARIF (appointed 8 November 2019)[4] and a trustee of the UK Friends of Herzog Hospital (appointed 14 June 2024).[5] She is also a trustee of Sephardi Voices UK.[6]
She serves on the Advisory Board of the National Jewish Assembly, where she is described as an active member of Lauderdale Road Synagogue who has served on its Board of Elders, a former committee member of Young JIA, and an advisory board member of Money Mental Health.[3] She is listed on the Advisory Board of the Alliance of Rabbis in Islamic States.[1]
She has also been associated with Israel Bonds events, including the 2019 International Women’s Day gathering in London.[7]
Family
Sandra Dangoor is a member of the extended UK branch of the prominent Iraqi Jewish Dangoor family, which traces its ancestry to Hakham Ezra Reuben Dangoor, a former Chief Rabbi of Baghdad.[8]
She is the sister of Robert Philip Dangoor. Their father was Albert Dangoor (1918–2005); their mother was Doreen. Albert is recorded as survived by his wife Doreen, children Sandra and Robert, and grandchildren Natasha and Lisa.[9] Legal proceedings further identify an uncle named Niazi Dangoor, who established the Sharet Trust for the benefit of Robert and Sandra Dangoor.[10]
Sandra Dangoor and her brother belong to the wider cousin network of the sons of the late Sir Naim Eliahou Dangoor CBE (1914–2015). Family photographs published in The Scribe show Sandra appearing alongside David Dangoor, Michael Dangoor, Robert Dangoor (son of Sir Naim) and Elie Dangoor, described in the captions as cousins.[11]
Her first cousins therefore include the British businessmen and philanthropists David Alan Ezra Dangoor CBE (Exilarch of the Exilarch’s Foundation), and his brothers Michael Dangoor, Robert Dangoor (to whom David later donated a kidney; died 2022) and Elie Dangoor.[11][12]
Within the Iraqi Jewish communal network in London, Sandra and her brother Robert appear with this circle of cousins in historical family chronicles of The Scribe – Journal of Babylonian Jewry.[11][9]
