Israeli students are being urged to take more of a role in Jewish life on campus.

"Most of them go straight through the university when they come to study here and are not in touch with any Jewish organisations, said Orly Goldschmidt, a campus worker for Jewish Agency for Israel.

She said she hoped they would get more involved in Jewish Society activities, perhaps by offering to run ulpans and other programmes.

Over 70 students attended the second annual Israeli Student Conference at West London Synagogue on Sunday.
