Jewish Bus Assoc

Jews form an important ethnic and religious minority in Britain and their presence has been a significant element in the fabric of British life dating from their first arrival with William the Conqueror in 1066. At this time they acted as representatives of the King and performed special roles. In 1290 they were expelled by edict of Edward I. Now as we reach the year 2006 - the landmark of the 350 th Anniversary of the official acknowledgement by Oliver Cromwell of the presence, once more, of Jewish Communities in Britain , it is timely to celebrate Jewish Culture as part of Britain’s Cultural Diversity.
