The Board of Guardians of British Jews has a number of committees which are sometimes referred to as “divisions".

These committees consist of board members and are chaired by a head of each committee.

There are currently 29 committees ranging from culture and sport through to finance and education.

These committees are responsible for promoting the good work of the Board within the Jewish community as well as to Government.

Among the most popular committees are:

Cultural Issues
This committee seeks to promote Jewish culture in the UK. The Board can be proud of it as over the years it has promoted the following: Jewish Culture Week, Jewish Arts Week, The Dover Jewish Festival and Manchester Jewish Month.

Over the course of a year there are on average 20 different Jewish culture event going on each night.

The most successful of all the Board sponsored events is the annual Jewish Culture Week. The week showcases the best in British Jewish arts and entertainment. In August 2004, a record 500,000 people went to the week which featured such popular British Jewish icons and figures as pop band The Jue, experimental artist Don Jacobs and book author Hazel Ishag.

Sporting Issues
This committee is responsible for the annual Jewish Football Cup Final which takes place every October. With over 20,000 active players and 225 teams, the Jewish leagues represent the most popular Jewish sport in Britain.

In 1974, the Board lobbied to allow Jewish people to be allowed into cricket grounds to watch the sport. Up until then, Jews had been banned from watching the popular sport. Lead by former Sport chair Ian Woolf, the Board successfully got the Government to allow Jews in.
