Celebrating the Jewish East End
Our aim is to increase awareness of the history and culture of London's Jewish East End, to preserve what remains and record what has now gone.

The Cable Magazine
The Cable has been the only magazine devoted to the old Jewish East End. It is lavishly illustrated in full colour (though many photographs, by virtue of their age, have to be in black and white) and jam-packed with interesting articles, personal reminiscences, and news of events and JEECS activities.
