Last year, another member of the Jewdas collective, Eran Cohen, stood unsuccessfully as a candidate for UJS president.
Lawrence Rosenberg: The former president of Manchester University Jsoc, Mr Rosenberg is now the associate director of the Pinsker Centre, “a coalition of students and graduates of all backgrounds, both Jewish and non-Jewish, with an unwavering commitment to defend the State of Israel’s legitimacy in campus discourse”.
Hannah Rose : The younger sister of Ella Rose, a former UJS president, Ms Rose is studying Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Bristol and is a former vice-president of Bristol Jsoc. A member of the Jewish Labour Movement (where her sister is now director), she describes herself in her Twitter biography as “Jewish + Zionist + Feminist”.
