At UJS, every Jewish student is welcome and valued exactly as they are. At the core of our inclusion and liberation work is the belief that everyone should feel comfortable to bring their whole self and never have to apologise for or hide parts of their identity. We also work to empower marginalised students to speak up and create change through peer leadership and campaigns. The named liberation groups within UJS are: Jewish students of colour, Disabled Jewish students, LGBTQ+ Jewish students, women Jewish students, and working class Jewish students.
