Geschiedenis

EUJS envisions a vibrant, sustainable Jewish communal life in Europe with strong youth and student involvement.

EUJS seeks to strengthen Jewish communities and European society through Jewish student activism and advocacy. Therefore, EUJS connects peer-lead, independent Jewish student unions throughout Europe and supports them in fulfilling the aspirations of the Jewish people, developing its religious, spiritual, cultural and social heritage, and ensuring its continuity.

How we do this:

We connect Jewish student unions by facilitating exchange, discussion and partnership amongst them at our events and trainings.

We assist our members, and encourage the formation of peer-lead, independent student unions wherever there are Jewish students.

We empower Jewish students to take on present and future leadership roles – In the community and beyond.

We seek to secure the rights, status and interests of Jews and Jewish communities in Europe, and to contribute towards an inclusive Europe. In order to achieve this, we represent our members before international institutions and in various organizations, such as the European Jewish Congress, the European Youth Forum, the United Nations, and many more.
