Read here Dalias reflection on Interfaith week 2018:

In the aftermath of the horrific mass murder at a synagogue in Pittsburgh this Shabbat, young Jewish people and our allies are all asking the same question; how can we fix this?

Black History Month takes place in October every year, and is mainly observed in the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United States, Canada and the Netherlands to remember important people and events in the African Diaspora.

It’s been an exciting summer of planning for the year ahead. Take a look at what I’ve been up to, representing Jewish students locally, nationally and internationally!

Ready for Uni? Here are the important dates of the first semester to keep in mind!

It is often said that our youth is the future of our community. We are told that developing as leaders, finding our causes and forging relationships will set us on a good course for the future, so that one day we can play our part in developing the next generation.

When taking on the role of UJS President, I was told by everyone and anyone that it would be over before I knew it… and whilst I cannot believe it, as of this afternoon my time at UJS is done.

There is no doubt that this has been one of the most inspirational and insightful weeks of my life. I feel it can be summed up in one word – a journey.

As a common youth, it is all too easy for me to fall into the trap of thinking that local elections do not matter. My university provides almost all of my institutional requirements, and the rest are fulfilled by my parents. I don’t pay council tax and I am far away enough from owning a house that housing issues appear to not affect me at all.  So why will I be voting on the 3rd of May? Why will I be voting for the Liberal Democrats, a party that appears to be constantly followed by a barely hidden snigger whenever mentioned?

On 3^rd May the people will go to the polls once again. I know what you are thinking, as Brenda from Bristol put it, “not another one!”. In just the last few years we have had two general elections and a referendum that has resulted in the largest constitutional change in modern British history. Nevertheless, the upcoming local elections are arguably the vote that will have the most impact on your day to day life. You get to decide who will run your local council, ensure bins get collected regularly, pot holes are fixed, trees trimmed, houses built and the public gardens watered.
