The Oxford University Chabad Society honoured the new Oxford educated Ambassador of the State of Israel to the Court of St James, His Excellency Mr. Daniel Taub, with an exclusive buffet reception just a week after he submitted his credentials to HM the Queen.
Close to a hundred students and community members attended the reception, which took place at the Oxford Jewish Centre, and was preceded by a lecture organised by the Oxford Jewish Congregation.
The president of the Oxford University Chabad Society, Oleg Giberstein of St Antony’s college, welcomed the Ambassador on behalf of the Oxford University Chabad Society and the Jewish students at the university and wished him well on his ambition to reach out directly to British society in representing Israel, despite a sometimes unsympathetic audience.
Rabbi Eli Brackman, director of Chabad of Oxford, opened the ceremony with greetings and said that it was an honour to host the new Israeli Ambassador in Oxford and pointed out the longstanding strong support of Chabad for the well being, welfare and security of Israel.
British-born Mr Taub was previously the Israeli Foreign Ministry’s deputy legal counsel and was a regular spokesman for the Israeli government. He has also been a member of the Israeli teams in Israel’s negotiations with both Syria and the Palestinians, and served as head of the Israeli side of the Israeli-Palestinian Culture of Peace negotiations.
