It's Student Volunteering Week! We are incredibly proud of the Jewish students who do all kinds of volunteering year-round, from leading Shabbat services at elderly care homes to helping in soup kitchens - and of course, running their J-Socs every week @StudentVolWeek #SVW2018pic.twitter.com/M23vWKdQVM
