● St Andrews JSoc hosted its first Northern Region Weekend, welcoming students from universities across Scotland and north east England.

The weekend commenced with Friday night dinner, with both an Orthodox and a Progressive service available. After dinner students took to the beach for a game of frisbee.

A Shabbat morning service was led by Bill and Emily Shackman from Dundee's Jewish community. Mrs Shackman also led a discussion on small communities.

A tour of St Andrews took in the town's architecture and a visit to the university's museum. The weekend concluded with a bagel brunch.
