AJEX

AJEX exists to honour, support and remember the Jewish contribution to His Majesty’s Armed Forces - past and present.

With over 120,000 Jewish men and women having served in the British Armed Forces during the World Wars, we are proud to ensure that their legacy is never forgotten. This is more important than ever with the rise in antisemitism in the UK. It shows our immense contribution to British society.

Today, our work focuses on three key areas: Remembrance, Education and Welfare. We lead national acts of remembrance, challenge antisemitism through education, and provide vital support to Jewish veterans and their families when they need it most.

We also work closely with the Armed Forces Jewish Community, strengthening the connection between those who have served and those serving today.

By taking part in the Maccabi Community Fun Run for AJEX, you are helping to preserve a remarkable history, support a proud community, and ensure these stories continue to inspire future generations.
