The contribution of British Jews to the freedom and security of the UK has been outstanding but, like that of all minorities, it could quickly be forgotten.

Our annual Remembrance parade and ceremony on Whitehall is a key event in the communal calendar. It brings together people from across the community of all ages to demonstrate our loyalty, take pride in our military activities and remember all the Jews who have fought for our freedom.

AJEX seeks to keep Remembrance alive.

The Annual Remembrance Parade & Ceremony

The AJEX Annual Remembrance Parade & Ceremony at the Cenotaph became an annual event from the 1930s onwards.

While AJEX members march alongside UK veterans on Remembrance Sunday at the RBL's National Remembrance Parade on Whitehall, there is a separate annual Jewish ceremony of Remembrance on the following Sunday in November.

AJEX Shabbat

This year AJEX Shabbat will take place in communities across the country on Saturday 18th November.

If you would like help in arranging an AJEX Shabbat or want to tell us what your community is doing please do be in touch via ajexremembers@ajex.org.uk or call 0208 202 2323. We look forward to hearing all about these important local opportunities to join together in order to honour and remember all those who served.

AJEX Remembrance Campaign 2023

As part of the Remembrance period AJEX not only holds its Annual Remembrance Parade & Ceremony and AJEX Shabbat. There's a host of other activities and events, including school visits and talks, art activities and opportunities to join our social media campaigns.

National Armed Forces Week

In June each year as part of National Armed Forces Week, AJEX holds a special ceremony at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire to celebrate the significant contribution of Jewish servicemen and women to HM Armed Forces, both past and present.

The Jewish Military Museum

The Jewish Military Museum was formed after large amounts of military artefacts and records started being given to AJEX.  As veterans passed on, their families wanted to ensure that certain belongings were not discarded, especially as they helped preserve an important record of Jewish service in the UK.

The Record of Honour

Preserving and honouring the names of all those Jewish men and women that have served with the British Armed Forces and made the community proud.

Education

From engagement workshops for schools and youth groups to interviews with our veterans, we use the stories of Jewish veterans to explore ideas of Remembrance.

Remembrance Wall

If you would like to honour the memory of a loved one who served in HM Armed Forces on our virtual Wall of Remembrance.
