Adam Ma’anit is Communications Manager at the Board of Deputies. He looks after the organisation’s day-to-day communications, manages a busy comms team, and is the lead on all of the Board’s digital and print work including the Board’s social media and websites, an ambitious e-learning portfolio, campaigns, publications, and special projects. He has previously served as the Board’s Digital Communications Officer and as Interfaith Relations and Social Action Manager.
Since October 7th, Adam has been a leading voice in the UK for the victims of October 7 (including members of his own family) and campaigning for the release of the hostages in Gaza. He is a regular speaker at rallies and events including the Board of Deputies’ weekly ‘Adopt-A-Hostage Vigil’, and is frequently interviewed on major outlets including BBC, Sky News, ITV, Good Morning Britain, LBC, Times Radio, and major newspapers. His campaigning has shaped his wider work on tackling disinformation, terrorism, and antisemitism, bringing him into regular contact with government officials, parliamentarians, regulators such as Ofcom and the ICO, law enforcement, and local government.
Adam also represents the Board internationally, serving on the World Jewish Congress’ Online Hate Working Group and on the Advisory Council of the WJC’s Institute for Technology and Human Rights, which focuses on confronting online hate and ensuring technology is used to strengthen rather than undermine society.
Before joining the Board, Adam worked across the non-profit and campaign sectors as a founder, trustee, editor, and consultant, on issues ranging from climate change and human rights to refugee relief and international trade. He has lived and worked in the Netherlands, India, the United States, Israel, Nepal and Kenya, and now calls (mostly) sunny Brighton home.
