UJS is making campus home for Jewish students this Pesach.

For the first time in many years Seder night falls during term-time for most Jewish students, meaning a Pesach away from home. Pesach is the single most celebrated festival in the entire Jewish calendar, and it is with pride that UJS is facilitating opportunities for Jewish students to create their own home away from home this Pesach.

This year UJS is bringing Pesach to campus by:

• Providing funding for student Seders across the country
• Making campus home with Kosher-for-Pesach Care Packages
• Creating materials including a Haggadah companion to support, and enrich student Seders
• Connecting students with their local Jewish communities, ensuring no student is alone this Pesach

Jewish students on campus can access all these provisions and more by contacting their Sabbatical Officer.

Dora Hirsh, UJS’ Jewish Enrichment and Engagement Officer, said: “It’s a truly special experience working to ensure that thousands of Jewish students across the UK and Ireland can fully celebrate Pesach on campus – just like they would at home with their families. We’ve been working hard over the past few months planning and preparing to support Jewish students through the holiday and we are incredibly excited!”

Organising these provisions is an exceptional feat. UJS are grateful to the many individuals and members of the British Jewish community for supporting Jewish students. Individuals can donate to the UJS Pesach Appeal at www.ujs.org.uk/pesach_appeal_2024.
