This is an unprecedented time for Jewish students in campuses across the UK.

Since October 7th, Jewish students on UK campuses have been facing unprecedented hostility. They have been confronted with overt antisemitism and ferocious anti-Zionism on a daily basis, leading to a truly toxic and threatening campus environment. This crisis has highlighted the critical need for University Jewish Chaplaincy’s unwavering and meaningful support and representation.

University Jewish Chaplaincy  is the primary Jewish charity physically on campus, offering support to over 8,500 Jewish students in over 100 universities across the UK.

Our mission is clear: to ensure a safe, vibrant, and nurturing environment for every Jewish student, fostering a sense of community and belonging that enriches and connects them to their Judaism, their history and their future. In today’s climate, this has been challenging, but our Chaplains have been there on campus every day, doing all they can to be part of the solution, ensuring Jewish life can be lived proudly on campuses across the UK.  

Our Response:

  • Safeguarding Jewish Student Life: We are committed to protecting and promoting a secure and joyful Jewish existence for every student, ensuring campuses remain welcoming spaces for all. Our Chaplains have been making regular representations to university administrations to demand that they honour their duty of care to Jewish students. Chaplains have had over 30 meetings with Vice Chancellors since October 7th.
  • Fostering Empowerment: Through encouragement and support, we promote student-led activism and programming, empowering students to take the lead in shaping their Jewish journey. Chaplains have held over 399 events since the beginning of the year.
  • Welfare and Pastoral Care: Chaplains deliver ongoing, non-judgmental welfare and pastoral support to all who need it. With record numbers of students reconnecting with their Judaism at this time, this has never been so important. Our Chaplains have provided over 4000 hours of pastoral support.
  • A Home Away From Home: Our Chaplains offer a warm and welcoming 'home-away-from-home', making every student feel part of a larger Jewish family which has never been more crucial. We have served an amazing 4783 meals throughout this crisis.

We couldn’t be prouder to report that we have had over 18,910 student interactions this academic year.

Throughout this crisis, Jewish students have been caught in the midst of violence, protest, intimidation and abuse across UK universities, it has come from their peers and at times it has been led by their professors. Together with the students our Chaplains have been on the front line fighting back and have sadly supported 1600 students with incidents of antisemitism over this period.

Please help us to be part of the solution and support Chaplaincy’s CRISIS on CAMPUS campaign and give as generously as you can to ensure that Jewish students on campuses across the UK can live their lives, proudly, securely and without fear.
