Ella Rose, UJS President, said: “Seeing so many inspirational peer-leaders gathered together proves that Jewish students are passionate about creating vibrant, and diverse Jewish experiences on campus.”
Lighting up chanucah
Oxford University students took part in a chanuciah decorating session organised by student chaplain Rabbi Michael Rosenfeld-Schueler.
Eight students took time out to cover chanuciot with decoupage — paper cut-outs — before painting them ready for candle-lighting next week.
Rabbi Rosenfeld-Schueler has organised crafts activities for Oxford and Oxford Brookes students, including jewellery-making and mezuzah decorating.
“We tried to make it a stress release kind of project, something different from their heavy academic schedule. It is an intense term here. It was about letting ago and doing something different for a while,” he said.
