Speaking at the Asian-Jewish Business Network’s (AJBN) flagship event at the Lord’s Cricket Ground on Monday, Attorney General Rt. Hon. Suella Braverman MP predicted that the British Jewish and Indian communities will be at the “forefront” of rebuilding the economy after the pandemic.
The Attorney General was a guest speaker alongside the Daily Mail’s Alex Brummer at the Asian-Jewish Business Network’s second flagship event. Mrs Braverman spoke of the huge opportunities this country had afforded her family as “proud British Asians” who came to Britain with nothing.
As well as a record number of Asians in the cabinet, the Attorney General spoke of her pride in the “significant contribution” of her fellow community members across healthcare, tech, academia and law. Describing her husband as a “very proud member of the Jewish community” whose family had previously made aliyah and contributed as members of Bushey Synagogue, she told over 400 attendees, “they welcomed me me with open heart”, adding, “I’m the number one supporter of Friday night dinners at my husband’s family”.
She underlined that Innovation was also a shared factor for Israel and India, adding she had been “struck by the tangible energy and passion” of Israelis while visiting the Jewish state. The AJBN was founded two years ago by Russell Bahar and Jewish News’ Justin Cohen.
