For Students
 Cambridge, of course, plays host to a large number of students and not just in term time, as there are many postgraduate and research students resident throughout the year. At a time when they are away from home and family, students are particularly welcome at Beth Shalom, both at services and other events. We also host a special Student Service once a year, conducted entirely by students.
There are a number of groups in Cambridge catering specifically to Jewish students:
Cambridge University Jewish Society
Cambridge University Chabad Jewish Society
