The Jewish Leadership Council has formally approved Jonathan Goldstein as its new chairman, succeeding Sir Mick Davis who stepped down after eight years.
The JLC’s membership elected Mr Goldstein, 50, the sole candidate, on Tuesday night.
Mr Goldstein, who is chief executive of an international property investment company, Cain Hoy, and has chaired the JLC’s education division, Partnerships for Jewish Schools, said he was “honoured to take on the role of JLC chair and am excited about the opportunity to take the organisation forward”.
Steven Lewis, chairman of Jewish Care, was re-elected as a trustee, while Hilda Worth, chairman of Jewish Women’s Aid, takes a seat at the JLC’s top table for the first time.
