THE ABRAHAM EFFECT
NUAL REPORT FOR THE PERIOD 1st JULY 20
4. 30THJUNE 2025 ANDT
Since Isl July 2024, The Abraham Effect (TAE) expanded significantly. clearfy f(Kused on advancing Jewish
education, strengthening identity and prartice and promoting understanding of the Jewish faith within UK
schools. TAE delivered 150 sdlool visits engaging over 7.000 pupils of all backgrounds.
Our programs were delivered in a particularly challenging social contexL marked by heightened concerns
around antisemitism following international conflict and resulting in many serious incidents affecting the
UK Jewish community. In response, TAE has encouraged and
supported the Jewish pupils it engages with, giving them
confidence to express their Jewish identity both within and outside
of their educational settings. ensuring that Jewish faith is presented
as a valued and inte￿￿ part of sch(x>l CUItL￿e.
The organisation's activities moved beyond one-off outreach and
towards sustained institytional engagement. This included large-
scale school assemblies. regular chaplaincy provisiory festival
celebrations and Holocaust education initiatives. These programs
were destgned not only to support Jewish pupils, but also to
educate wider student b(yJies, fostering muknal respect and understanding across diverse communities. Rabbi
Hughes is now appointed as the Jewish Chaplain at six of the UK'S top secondary school4 five of which had
never had a Jewish Chaplain previously.
A nurnber of key outcomes demonstrate the significance of OUT impact. Following an
address by Rabbi Hughes at whole school assembly of 91X) pupils at Westrninster
School, a record 40 stydents signed up to the Jewish S￿iety, indicating both
increased visibility and engagement. Similarly. at Manchester GTammar School. a
Sukkot Celebration involving around 200 pupils held by our Manchestet team. just
days after a lethal local synagogue attacL served as a meaningful act of communal
resilience and continuity.

TAE also supported the establishment and growth of Jewish student societies at
schools including the estsblishmenl for the first tiffle, of a Jewish S(Kiety at
Marlborough College. This achievement followed the appointtnent of Rabbi Hughes
as the school's Visiting Rabbi . They now meet weekly. At Eton College, TAE
contributed io a doubling in participation in the Jewish fatth class and other activitie5 including regular
events. visiting speakers and Cross communal dialogue, addressing
the very 5ignificaDt increase in antisemitism.
The charity's reach ffxpanded geographically with new schools
joining our network. Many of the sch(x)Is now engage more
. * frequently too. This reflects both growing demand and increasing
recognition of our work. To meet this deman(t TAE engages
additional rabbis and educators as and when required.
One of TAE'S objectives is to develop new leaders of. and advocates
for, the Jewish community. These are enhanced by contributions from high profile speaker4 including senior
political and media figures. They engage pupils in discussions on contemporary issues and spark their
interest to get more involved in issues affecting the Jewish cotThmunity. We have also started an interfaith
podcast at a school tn which Rabbi Hughes is Jewish Chaplain to promote. amongst other things, respectful
dialogue across faith communities.

Holocaust education remains a key part of the d]arity's work. TAE played a leading role in two educational
visits to Auschwitz involving 4(K) non-Jewish pupils, delivered in partn¢rshtp with the Hol(Kaust
Educational Trust. Many of the pupils said that the experience was prof(Kmd and transfom]ative TAE has
been asked to lead on more trips scheduled for 2026. Further. TAE. together with Eton College. organised a
recent trip to Auschwitz for a selection of Eton's non-Jewish pupils.
Events celebrating Jewish festivals played a key role in achieving the charity's
objectives. Chanukah and Sukkot events. including large assemblies and multi-
school gatherings, enabled pupils to experience Jewish traditions in an
accessible and engaging way. They provided a positive experience for Jewish
pupils some of whom would not otherwise experience these festivals at all and
meaningfvl educational expowe for their non-Jewish peers.

Testimonies from pupils indicate that involvement in TAE'S programs has
strengthened their confidence. identity and leadership capacity. particularly important for when they
progress to further education an(L hopefvlly. become involved in community life.
In summary. The Abraham Effect has demonstratuj significaDL meawrable. progress in advancing its
haritable objectives. It has (a) increased the scale of its delivery. (b) deepened institutional parlnerships and
(c) responded effeaively to a challenging external environment. TAE is fiKu5ed on providing education to
both Jewish and non-Jewish pupils. contributing to a greater understandin& resilience and social cohesion
within the school communities it serves.
