Israeli-born Yael Mohaliver-Brif has been appointed UJIA’s regional director for Manchester, Leeds and Newcastle.
The mother-of-two and Middle Eastern Relations graduate spent two years in Wales as Israeli delegate to the United World Colleges programme, before spending several years as a senior manager at an Israeli non-profit organisation, providing educational support to young people.
Yael replaces outgoing regional director Eldan Kaye, who returned to Israel earlier this year.
