Sophie Dunoff, Chief Operating Officer of University Jewish Chaplaincy, was “honoured” to chair the second Annual Gathering for Reshet, the Network for Jewish Youth Provision. The organisation was set up two years ago by the UJIA and JLC and is run by Chief Executive Shelley Marsh.  

Taking place on 8 November at Wac Arts the lively evening for creative listening, learning and sharing ideas included a session with University Jewish Chaplaincy’s Tracey Rosenfeld-Schueler from Oxford.

Liverpool and North West student Chaplain Rabbi Dan Lieberman took part in an unusual challenge for a man of the cloth: participating in 28 assault challenges over the course of 11 miles last Sunday.

Completing the ‘Tough Mudder’  North West challenge held at  Cholmondeley Castle in Cheshire,  involved  putting his body through ice water challenges, running up steep hills and driving through chest high mud – all performed whilst wearing his kippah!

Term started early for the Chaplains as University Jewish Chaplaincy was back on campus at the Hillel house in Birmingham focusing attentions on their Chaplains’ own training and leadership! Chaplains from around the UK spent five days on a training seminar receiving expert support and professional training, in order to get ready for the new academic year on campus.

This year is a little different on campus- as the late occurence of the Festival means more students will be on campus for at least some of the festival.

Whether you need help selling your chametz, or want to eat meals at your chaplain's home the guide below should help you on your way. In order to aid your chaplains please do rsvp asap so that they can make appropriate provisions. Have a wonderful Pesach on campus!
