Emily Thornberry, the Shadow Foreign Secretary, is to speak at this year’s Limmud Festival in Birmingham next month.
It follows her attendance at the Board of Deputies annual dinner this week and at the Israel Embassy’s Yom Ha’atzmaut celebration earlier in the year.
The Labour frontbencher is the most senior political leader on the programme to be announced so far.
Jon Lansman, the Jewish chairman of the Momentum group which helped to propel Jeremy Corbyn to the Labour leadership, visited the Festival last year, his second appearance there.
