University Jewish Chaplaincy offers a range of student activities on an off campus. Your support could subsidise one or more of our vital programmes, advancing our mission to ensure that every Jewish student has access to Jewish community life during their time at university. If there is a particular activity you wish to sponsor, or if there’s someone special you want to remember with your gift, you can tell us when you make a donation.

As formally recognised representatives to universities, our Chaplains are uniquely placed to assist students whenever and wherever they need it most. Through their relentless commitment, they have spent over 1,600 hours addressing students’ welfare concerns, providing a crucial support system in times of need.

The Chaplains at the University of Birmingham are supportive, helpful and welcoming. Recently, when we held our charity football match against Leeds, the Chaplains were integral in helping to welcome the Leeds team, putting on the event and in supporting the team. Their Friday night dinners are inclusive to all those across the religious spectrum, and they are constantly keen to hear about how people’s weeks were, how their course is going and how they can support people. It is a core part of Jewish life on campus as well, and a donation to them will certainly help others experience a positive Jewish life at University.

Warwick JSOC wouldn’t be the same without Fishel. His consistent support and dedication to our small community at Warwick is evidently appreciated by every Jewish student. From Bagels with Fishel on a Wednesday afternoon to Purim and the annual shabbaton, he unites students and brings a smile to many faces. I contacted Fishel when I was deciding what university to put as my first choice, and after speaking to him, I had no doubt that my Jewish life would thrive at Warwick. His support motivated me to run for and attain the role of president of the Jewish society in my first year. Throughout the time I was president, I knew that if I ever needed anything or had any questions, I could drop him a text and he would be there. Even during Covid, when restrictions were at their peak, Fishel helped me ensure that we could hold events and bring Jewish students together. Furthermore, he is always there to help the society in dealing with issues of antisemitism on campus, or even an exam clash with a Jewish holiday, we always know we can go to him!

Fishel always provides us with so much support and enjoyment throughout the year, while on the JSOC committee Fishel was my go to person for help when dealing with the university, always willing to give both advice and useful contacts to ensure running the JSOC was as smooth as possible. Beyond JSOC, Fishel hosts ‘Bagels with Fishel’ every Tuesday where he have lively discussions, it's always a nice break from work and a great chance to catch up with friends! We also have our campus shul followed by a kiddush and sometimes even a lunch which is always the most popular! There is always something for everyone throughout the week, no matter your religious level or how involved you are with Jewish life on campus and having Fishel, Esther and the Chaplaincy on campus with us has really added to my university experience!

Chaplains Miriam and Rabbi Aaron have been an amazing support for me and other Jewish students. They helped us organise and run a vigil for Israel which everyone found to be really healing. They’ve hosted dinners for us twice a week since the beginning of the war, giving us the much needed time around other Jewish people to de-stress and feel safe. I don’t know what we would have done without them.
