The Board of Deputies has released the third edition of its Employer’s Guide to Judaism, with a new extended chapter on preventing antisemitic discrimination in the workplace.

The decision to update the chapter was made in the wake of October 7 as “antisemitic discrimination in the workplace has been a key concern for the community”, said a spokesperson for the Board.

In January, Work Avenue published research stating that 40 per cent of people had experienced antisemitism at work since the Hamas terrorist attacks on October 7.

Board president Phil Rosenberg said: “Defending our religious freedoms is an essential part of the Board of Deputies’ mission. After the tough year the community has had, and particularly in advance of the High Holy Days, we are proud to launch the new edition of The Employer’s Guide to Judaism to support Jews in the workplace.”
