Abstract
The aims of the Union are: to unite the national association of Jewish students in all countries; to represent Jewish students in academic life; to further and protect Jewish student interest and to ensure adequate representation of their opinion at meetings of international and other organizations; to cooperate with any organization which is concerned to promote the interests of students in general; to strengthen the ties of Jewish students with Israel; and to organize activity on behalf of Jewish communities in distress. Cultural guidance has been given to its unions (totalling 200,000 members in 38 countries); International Seminars, Holiday Schools and Camps have been arranged, and consultative status as well as regular contacts both between other national and international bodies have been reinforced. WUJS operates Project AREIVIM, a unique service programme for Diaispora communities.
