Research on three individuals
Hello! Thanks for asking Wonder to provide research on Jonathan Joseph, Elliott Goldstein and Stephen Grabiner. In short, I have found information for each individual's general profile, professional experience, philanthropic activities, Jewish activities, and any red flags regarding these individuals, as per your request. What follows is the details of my methodology I used to conduct this research, and then my findings.
METHODOLOGY
First, my colleague and I searched for professional social media accounts. Although we found a LinkedIn account that appears to be that of Stephen Grabiner, nothing is filled out in his profile. LinkedIn accounts for Jonathan Joseph and Elliott Goldstein are either not public or non-existent. Nonetheless, we searched through corporate websites, industry reports, government reports/databases, trusted media sites, user forums and review sites and located information on Jonathan Joseph, Elliott Goldstein and Stephen Grabiner.
Please note that Wonder's standards are usually to provide information that is less than two years old. However, due to the requirements of this research, some sources were much older than two years.
FINDINGS
JONATHAN JOSEPH
General profile: Jonathan Joseph has property development and property finance specialties, with four decades of business experience behind him. Jonathan is married to a real estate solicitor named Carole, and they have three children.
Professional experience/affiliations: Jonathan Joseph successfully led landmark urban development and regeneration projects, and major schemes in London, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Philanthropic activities/social involvement: Jonathan Joseph has played key roles in philanthropic activities which primarily serves Jewish communities, listed in the following section.
Jewish activities or activities related to Israel: Since March 2015, Jonathan Joseph has been chair of Langdon, a Jewish charity which serves over 90 Jewish young adults with housing, education, employment and social support, within a Jewish ethos.

He was President of the European Council of Jewish Communities (ECJC) for six years, and is also a trustee of JW3. Jonathan Joseph is listed as the Principal (with Joseph Partners) for JCC Ventures.
Red flags/Controversies: Though I found no red flags around his name, there are a few events worth noting. Back in 2010, the ECJC ran into financial trouble while Jonathan Joseph was President of the ECJC. In a bid to save ECJC's future, he brought in Ukrainian billionaire, Igor Kolomoisky, to be ECJC's president-elect. With his wealth, Kolomoisky transformed ECJC into one of the strongest Western Jewish communities.
In June 2017, amid a great deal of objection from anti-regeneration groups in the Brent Cross area in north London, Jonathan Joseph's Brent Cross Cricklewood regeneration scheme was given the "green light" by the Government. Jonathan Joseph is quoted as saying: "The fantastic benefits the regeneration will bring to local people in an area crying out for new investment and the careful planning that will ensure it is delivered in a safe and sustainable way."
