The Union of Jewish Students has taken steps to strengthen its cultural ties with Israel.

New initiatives include a YouTube channel with an Israeli cooking programme filmed in the demonstration kitchen at the UJS new base at JW3 in London.

It is also planning a series of concerts on campus by famous Israeli band Hadag Nachash.

New president Joe Tarsh said: “Political action is an important part of our Israel engagement but we’re also saying we can connect in a cultural sense, a social sense, in an emotional way.”
