Dublin- ‘Small but mighty!’ Although we are not huge in numbers, we are still active and host regular get togethers. 

Trinity College Dublin has a small J-Soc with links to both the progressive and orthodox communities in Dublin. The society has great relationships with the university chaplaincy. Despite being called Trinity College Dublin J-Soc, it is open to any student studying in Dublin, and hosts lovely Friday Night dinners, open to anyone who's interested. For more information please email [email protected]. 

University College Dublin boasts Irelands largest Judaic-based society, with the Hebrew Culture and Language Society being home to over 50 members, both Jewish and anyone else interested in learning more about Judaism and Hebrew. HCL-Soc hosts weekly Falafel-lunches as well as events for the holidays and Hebrew lessons. For more information please email [email protected].

The two societies often collaborate and are welcoming to any student from any university in Dublin. 

Dublin is a beautiful city with interesting history and an exciting nightlife. There is a very welcoming local Jewish community to support the students who study at the many universities in the city.

Kosher Food & Accommodation

There are both Progressive and Orthodox communities with synagogues and access to kosher food. There are links with the community because Dublin Jews often stay in the city for university. The Chabad Rabbi in Dublin has a welcoming Shabbat table for Jewish students looking for a little taste of a home away from home.  You can find out more at www.chabad.ie

There is also a Moishe House in Dublin! For more information please be in touch with the Jsocs, or the UJS team.

Campus Notes

The main Trinity and UCD campuses are linked via the 39A, E1 and E2 bus routes. The Trinity College campus is a popular tourist attraction in the centre-city, while the UCD campus is a little further south. Both are very welcoming and pedestrian friendly areas. 

Temple bar area, just south of the Liffey hosts popular tourist bars. Camden Street is the lively home to a variety of bars and clubs. For a more relaxed evening, Baggot Street and Dawson Street have quieter pubs and clubs.

The UJS Sabbatical Officer for this campus is Louis G
