St Andrews JSoc is enjoying one of its most successful years thanks to a significant membership boost.
Last year the society signed up around 200 new members, meaning more events, backed by more people, are now able to take place.
At the end of October, JSoc arranged a successful Shabbaton with the help of members from nearby Dundee Hebrew Congregation. After a Shabbat morning service they held a discussion on the week's parsha and a bagel lunch.
Bill and Emily Shackman, from the Dundee community, have agreed to return to lead a number of services for students throughout the year.
JSoc members also attended a Halloween-themed Shabbat dinner.
The society's first speaker of the year was mediation expert David Matz, a professor at the University of Massachusetts Boston.
He gave a lecture on negotiation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. More than 20 students and guests attended.
A fortnight ago Ran Gidor, political affairs attaché at the Israeli Embassy in London, spoke at the university's debating society.
He tackled the motion "This house believes that there will be no peace until the settlements stop" alongside a student from the university. They were opposed by two members of the Scottish Palestinian Solidarity Campaign.
Martin Samson, St Andrews JSoc co-president, said: "We are having another strong year, holding events on a more regular basis. We are also marking Shabbat every week now. Previously we could only hold Shabbat dinners fortnightly.
"We have created strong links with the Dundee Hebrew Congregation, and we have welcomed Rabbi Garry Wayland on a regular basis.
"We remain an international society. Our committee comprises four Americans, one Belgian and a solitary Brit.
"We are working very hard to continue to attract Jewish students to St Andrews.
"Our success is reflected in us hosting our first ever Northern Region Weekend, which will welcome students from across Scotland and north east England, next February."
