BOARD’SBROADERGENDERAGENDA

BOARD of Deputies president Jonathan Arkush couldn’t resist a dig at the inability of some Jewish Leadership Council members to recognise the sole woman in their Downing Street delegation last week. But he slid off the moral high ground when inviting a female deputy with short hair and a striped shirt to the mic at

Sunday’s Board meeting with the words “Yes, sir?”

The Board quickly recaptured it, however, with its all-woman delegation to Shadow Education Secretary Lucy Powell ( second right) this week, consisting of ( fromleft) chief executive Gillian Merron, education officer Sara Perlmutter vice-president Sheila Gewolb.
