A young mother who died after falling from a top-floor flat was a former JFS pupil.
Annabelle Lancaster, 22, was pronounced dead at the scene after plunging from an eighth-floor window at block of flats in Enfield, North London, on Sunday evening.
A 26-year-old man, who was known to her, was arrested on suspicion of murder, and has been questioned by police.
A Facebook message to residents from PC Caitlin Blumgart of the Metropolitan Police read: “It is understood that the two individuals were known to each other, so this isn’t a stranger attack.”
JFS confirmed on Tuesday that Ms Lancaster, originally from Southgate, was a former pupil.
A former classmate, who wished to remain anonymous, told the JC Ms Lancaster was an "amazing, outgoing, bubbly character" who was a "very popular member of our school year".
Ms Lancaster's friend added: "She always saw the best in people, and overlooked the negatives. She knew everyone - pupils, teachers, teaching assistants - and I've been contacted by so many people about her, non-stop. It has been a huge thing for a lot of people.
"She was an incredible person, and very family-oriented. She had a beautiful child. The Jewish community should know that a beautiful life was lost."
Ms Lancaster was a keen sportswoman, representing JFS in a number of sports in local competitions, her friend added.
She left school after taking her GCSEs and went straight into work, before her daughter's birth.
JFS headteacher Rachel Fink said: "We are all deeply saddened by the news of Annabelle’s tragic passing. Our thoughts are with her family at this difficult time."
Ms Lancaster spoke to the JC in 2013, when she described how she received a bursary to go on Israel tour with FZY.
“My mum is a single mum and applied for a bursary, but at first we didn’t get the one we needed,” she said.
“I thought it was a sign that I was not supposed to go, but my mum fought for me and we got the call. We had to run out and go shopping because I had no summer clothes — I didn’t think I was going anywhere this summer.”
She added: “My best friend loved her time on FZY. She was telling me all about the Kotel, scuba diving and amazing activities. I want to get the experience as a whole — the religious and the fun side.”
A friend of Ms Lancaster, Stephanie Roberts, told the Evening Standard that she worked as a receptionist at a dental clinic, and had a three-year-old daughter.
Flowers and written tributes were left in the car park in Turkey Street where the victim was found. A police cordon remains in place.
