The Blue & White Club, a promising hub for young adults post-university, organised an immensely successful Purim party in Shoreditch. The sold-out event brought together over 200 young professionals from across London; the gathering saw a thriving atmosphere where attendees networked and socialised with their peers.
Addressing all guests, Amber Pinto, Director of the Blue & White Club, said, “We are a new group for young professionals who want to get together to celebrate Israel in a welcoming, inclusive and open-minded space. We look forward to building a community that can come together to support each other when it comes to dismantling antisemitism, racism and anti-Zionism but can also meet in person and party together”.
The Blue & White Club empowers young professionals to network with contemporaries and industry leaders: learning from one another, making connections and creating greater awareness of developments affecting Israel and the world.
This new and innovative club aims to bring young adults together in a diverse network that welcomes the exchange of fresh influences and ideas. The club has curated professional partners including renowned financiers, diplomats, actors and journalists.
About StandWithUs UK:
StandWithUs is an international, non-profit and non-partisan Israel education organisation that works to inspire and educate people of all ages about Israel, as well as challenge misinformation and fight against antisemitism. Founded in 2010, StandWithUs UK has become a recognised support system and leading resource for students on UK campuses. We empower and energise students and communities with leadership training and educational programmes on both school and university campuses. StandWithUs informs through social media, printed materials, digital platforms, film and newsletters. The StandWithUs flagship Emerson Fellowship programme seeks to raise students into future leaders, equipped to stand strong in the face of antisemitism and anti-Zionism. We believe in the right of the Jewish People to self-determination in their historic homeland of Israel. We educate the facts in an unbiased and holistic manner, with an open mind, reflecting on views from all sides of the political, social and humanitarian spectrum whilst promoting peace. StandWithUs UK believe the current discourse surrounding Israel on campus all too often crosses the line between legitimate criticism of Israel’s policies and the dangerous, mainstream, antisemitic rhetoric which stands contrary to the IHRA definition of antisemitism. We work to educate on that distinction, encourage civil discourse on legitimate criticism of Israel, and to fight antisemitism wherever it emerges.
