The Jewish Leadership Council, formed in 2003, (as the Jewish Community Leadership Council) is Chaired by the president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, Henry Grunwald QC.

Membership includes the Chairs and Presidents of synagogue movements, leaders of the main charities, welfare organisations and representative bodies as well as a number of Jewish VIPs and individual leaders such as The Lord (Michael) Levy, Sir Ronald Cohen, Dame Ruth Deech and former Board president and veteran politician Lord Janner.
