JEWISH STUDENTS AND YOUTH ORGANISATIONS

Within Jewish communities all around the world, Jewish students and youth are active. Whether they have a religious, social, cultural or academic emphasis, these organisations are all vital to the future of their local communities. (That's the serious bit out of the way - check out the Cambridge University Cholent page - it's a real Gem of the Web!)

  • B'nai B'rith Youth Organization
    BBYO is the youth arm of B'nai B'rith - the worldwide Jewish community service organisation. It plays an extremely important role in strengthening Jewish identity in young people from 14 to 25.

  • Jewish Theological Seminary
    This is the Conservative branch of Judaism's Rabbinical college located in New York, in the USA. Students come from all around the world to train and then return to serve the communities from which they came.

  • Union of Jewish Students (UK)
    This is the roof body of Jewish student societies from all over the United Kingdom. The site contains links to many Jewish Societies on campuses all over the country, together with many other useful resources for Jewish youth.

  • Cambridge University Jewish Society
    Located within one of the most famous universities in the world, this society is extremely active both on campus and within the Hillel campus movement.

  • Cambridge University Cholent Society
    This illustrious institution is dedicated to the appreciation and consumption of one of the greatest gifts that Judaism has given humankind. Cholent - a culinary masterpiece that once eaten is never forgotten (well, at least not for the next hour or so). Midst the joys of gefilte fish, schmaltz herring, latkes, tzimmes and blintzes, cholent is king and reigns supreme! You don't know what cholent is? You haven't lived! Check out this link - your life will never be the same again!

  • Oxford University Choolent Society
    They may spell it differently, but the Oxford people are just as dedicated to their passion for Cholent (or Choolent) as are their Cambridge counterparts. On first thought, you may feel that this Jewish delicacy is a little out of place in the sedate atmosphere of Oxford. But after a generous bowl of cholent/choolent, "sedate" is really all you want. (Grin!)?

  • Jerusalem Fellowships
    This programme awards scholarships to Jewish tertiary students and young professionals (19-29) to learn about and experience Judaism and tour Israel while living in Jerusalem. Three-week winter and four-week summer programmes are offered.

  • Arizona State University Hillel
    Hillel is on campus everywhere - even in Arizona. Jewish students are extremely active on this campus - if their Web page is anything to go by.

  • McGill University Hillel - ZioNet (Montreal)
    This page combines the resources of Hillel at McGill University and the Jewish youth network of Montreal - Zionet. There are heaps of other links there to some very interesting places.

  • University of Calgary Jewish Students Association
    "Jews in Calgary??", you ask? I did! Apparently, there are over 5,000 and the Jewish students at the university there have now launched themselves onto the Web. Drop by and say hi!
