JISoc stands for "Jewish Israeli Society". This makes us different and slightly more special than JSocs at other universities in the UK, however, you don't need to be both Jewish AND Israeli to join! Our society is a celebration of both Jewish and Israeli culture; cultures and traditions that we feel are quite inseperable. We offer members full use of our facilities which include the Jewish Common Room ("JCR") and adjoining Kosher Kitchen. These are located in the Chaplaincy Centre, adjacent to the JISoc Office.
In the academic year 2010/11 JISoc members totalled around 70, with a large proportion being everpresent at all events. Events are frequent and range from the weekly Bagel Lunches and Shabbat Meals to nights out in Leamington and film screenings. There is, of course, also the nationally renowned Warwick Shabbaton which is held once a year. Our close ties with Birmingham JSoc ensure that no festival or significant date in the Hebrew Calendar is left uncelebrated! At Warwick you get the best of both worlds: an academic elite institution AND a thriving jewish student community.
