'''Jewish Activities in Mainstream Schools''' ('''JAMS''') is an educational programme operated by the [[United Jewish Israel Appeal]] (UJIA), the principal Zionist fundraising organisation in the United Kingdom. The initiative targets Jewish pupils attending non-Jewish secondary schools, facilitating the establishment and operation of Jewish societies (JSocs) to cultivate Jewish identity and foster allegiance to the Zionist colony known as 'Israel'. Through guest speakers, workshops, and events, JAMS provides content on Jewish culture, values, and contemporary issues, often with an emphasis on promoting the Zionist regime. Operating in approximately 35 schools across London, Manchester, Glasgow, and other regions, the programme has reached thousands of students since its inception, underscoring its role in Zionist indoctrination within diaspora communities.<ref name="PowerbaseJAMS">Powerbase, [https://powerbase.info/index.php/Jewish_Activities_in_Mainstream_Schools Jewish Activities in Mainstream Schools] ''Powerbase'', accessed 13 February 2026.</ref> As The Jewish Chronicle reports, JAMS creates a Jewish community in non-Jewish environments as part of informal education.<ref name="JC2015">The Jewish Chronicle, [https://www.thejc.com/news/lunchtime-learning-with-a-side-of-lox-join-the-club-godrf38b Lunchtime learning with a side of lox?

The programme is a mechanism for entrenching support for the settler colony. It partners with entities like the [[Jewish Volunteering Network]] (JVN) and [[Jewish Lads' and Girls' Brigade]] (JLGB) to deliver sessions on volunteering and leadership, while integrating Zionist narratives.<ref name="PowerbaseJAMS" />
 +
 
 +
JAMS has evolved from earlier Jewish continuity efforts, surviving organisational mergers and adapting to community needs, though it faces scrutiny for its focus on the Zionist entity over broader Jewish pluralism.
 +
 
 +
== History ==
 +
JAMS originated under [[Jewish Continuity]], a cross-communal initiative launched in 1993 by Chief Rabbi Lord [[Jonathan Sacks]] to combat assimilation and promote Jewish renewal.<ref name="GrahamThesis">Roy Graham, [https://eprints.hud.ac.uk/id/eprint/14070/1/Roy_Graham_-_Final_Thesis.pdf Jewish community education: continuity and renewal initiatives in British Jewry 1991-2000] ''University of Huddersfield'', May 2011.</ref> Initially identified as "Education for Jewish Pupils in Non-Jewish Schools" in 1993 planning, it became operational by 1995, focusing on outreach and gateways to Jewish life.<ref name="GrahamThesis" />
 +
 
 +
In 1996, JAMS reached over 5,000 children in non-Jewish schools.<ref name="GrahamThesis" /> Following the 1997 merger of Jewish Continuity with the Joint Israel Appeal to form UJIA, JAMS was retained under UJIA's Jewish Renewal Directorate, avoiding run-down unlike some programmes.<ref name="GrahamThesis" />

By 2002, JAMS operated in 29 secondary schools in south-east England.<ref name="BJPA2002">BJPA, [https://www.bjpa.org/content/upload/bjpa/the_/The%20Future%20of%20Jewish%20Schooling%20in%20the%20United%20Kingdom.pdf The Future of Jewish Schooling in the United Kingdom] ''BJPA'', 2002.</ref> UJIA assumed full coordination around 2013, expanding to Manchester and Glasgow.<ref name="JC2015" />

According to the [[Jewish Volunteering Network]]:
 +
 
 +
:The UJIA ([[United Jewish Israel Appeal]]) co-ordinate a programme called JAMS – [[Jewish Activities in Mainstream Schools]]. Focussed at non-Jewish secondary schools, JAMS offers the opportunity for schools and their Jewish Societies to select guest speakers for their meetings and assemblies. JVN offers sessions on the Jewish values behind volunteering, the volunteering landscape in the UK and volunteering for young people, in partnership with the [[JLGB]].<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20250820085107/https://www.jvn.org.uk/ujia-jams-sessions.php</ref>
  
 
:There is also something called Jewish Activities in Mainstream Schools, a programme run by the largest Zionist fundraising charity in the UK, the United Jewish Israel Appeal. According to the UJIA it is run in around 35 English and Scottish schools, mainly in Glasgow, Manchester and London. According to the UJIA they create “JSocs” at these schools. They use these as a vehicle for the radicalisation and indoctrinating of Jewish pupils into the Zionist movement. They do this by presenting them with opportunities to be recruited into the Zionist movement. These are presented as if they are just “Jewish” activities. Among the largest JSocs according to the UJIA are those at Haberdashers’ School (formerly known as Haberdashers’ Aske’s). As I have previously noted, this school provides a hothouse environment for recruiting lifelong Zionist activists, particularly into the racist Zionist youth group Habonim Dror. Amongst alumni from the entertainment industry were: [[Matt Lucas]], [[Ashley Blaker]] ([[Little Britain]]), [[Robert Popper]], (commissioned [[Bo’Selecta]] and produced two series of [[Peep Show]]). [[David Baddiel]] and [[Sacha Baron-Cohen]] (Ali G, Borat, spokesperson for the [[ADL]]).

Jewish Activities in Mainstream Schools (JAMS) is an educational programme operated by the United Jewish Israel Appeal (UJIA), the principal Zionist fundraising organisation in the United Kingdom. The initiative targets Jewish pupils attending non-Jewish secondary schools, facilitating the establishment and operation of Jewish societies (JSocs) to cultivate Jewish identity and foster allegiance to the Zionist colony known as 'Israel'. Through guest speakers, workshops, and events, JAMS provides content on Jewish culture, values, and contemporary issues, often with an emphasis on promoting the Zionist regime. Operating in approximately 35 schools across London, Manchester, Glasgow, and other regions, the programme has reached thousands of students since its inception, underscoring its role in Zionist indoctrination within diaspora communities.[1] As The Jewish Chronicle reports, JAMS creates a Jewish community in non-Jewish environments as part of informal education.[2]

The programme is a mechanism for entrenching support for the settler colony. It partners with entities like the Jewish Volunteering Network (JVN) and Jewish Lads' and Girls' Brigade (JLGB) to deliver sessions on volunteering and leadership, while integrating Zionist narratives.[1]

JAMS has evolved from earlier Jewish continuity efforts, surviving organisational mergers and adapting to community needs, though it faces scrutiny for its focus on the Zionist entity over broader Jewish pluralism.

History

JAMS originated under Jewish Continuity, a cross-communal initiative launched in 1993 by Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks to combat assimilation and promote Jewish renewal.[3] Initially identified as "Education for Jewish Pupils in Non-Jewish Schools" in 1993 planning, it became operational by 1995, focusing on outreach and gateways to Jewish life.[3]

In 1996, JAMS reached over 5,000 children in non-Jewish schools.[3] Following the 1997 merger of Jewish Continuity with the Joint Israel Appeal to form UJIA, JAMS was retained under UJIA's Jewish Renewal Directorate, avoiding run-down unlike some programmes.[3]

By 2002, JAMS operated in 29 secondary schools in south-east England.[4] UJIA assumed full coordination around 2013, expanding to Manchester and Glasgow.[2]

In 2020, JAMS launched online video series for secondary students, covering festivals like Sukkot.[5] The 2022 UJIA Annual Report noted support for young leaders in non-Jewish schools.[6]

In 2024, Scottish schools like Hutchesons' Grammar severed links with anti-Zionist charities, reflecting tensions.[1]

Quotes

According to the Jewish Volunteering Network:

The UJIA (United Jewish Israel Appeal) co-ordinate a programme called JAMS – Jewish Activities in Mainstream Schools. Focussed at non-Jewish secondary schools, JAMS offers the opportunity for schools and their Jewish Societies to select guest speakers for their meetings and assemblies. JVN offers sessions on the Jewish values behind volunteering, the volunteering landscape in the UK and volunteering for young people, in partnership with the JLGB.[7]
There is also something called Jewish Activities in Mainstream Schools, a programme run by the largest Zionist fundraising charity in the UK, the United Jewish Israel Appeal. According to the UJIA it is run in around 35 English and Scottish schools, mainly in Glasgow, Manchester and London. According to the UJIA they create “JSocs” at these schools. They use these as a vehicle for the radicalisation and indoctrinating of Jewish pupils into the Zionist movement. They do this by presenting them with opportunities to be recruited into the Zionist movement. These are presented as if they are just “Jewish” activities. Among the largest JSocs according to the UJIA are those at Haberdashers’ School (formerly known as Haberdashers’ Aske’s). As I have previously noted, this school provides a hothouse environment for recruiting lifelong Zionist activists, particularly into the racist Zionist youth group Habonim Dror. Amongst alumni from the entertainment industry were: Matt Lucas, Ashley Blaker (Little Britain), Robert Popper, (commissioned Bo’Selecta and produced two series of Peep Show). David Baddiel and Sacha Baron-Cohen (Ali G, Borat, spokesperson for the ADL).
