About Us

About Aish UK

Aish UK exists to make the wisdom, depth and beauty of Judaism accessible to every young British Jew, from when they are about to leave home until they build their own, empowering young Jews to build a brighter future for the community.

For centuries, Jews have made an invaluable contribution in all fields of British life, more often than not, as a result of Jewish values such as duty, tolerance and good citizenship.

We believe that a strong, resilient and vitalised Jewish community is a valuable asset for broader society. Society flourishes when people are grounded in identity and assume responsibility for the betterment of all.

Our Judaism is grounded in thousands of years of wisdom, faith and practice, and is outward looking, empowered by a sense of social responsibility.

For the past 30 years Aish UK has inspired a deeper connection to Jewish life and learning and to ensure a vibrant future for tens of thousands of young Jewish people and the world at large. Through diverse educational opportunities, immersive experiences and enduring relationships we share the wisdom and beauty of Jewish faith, practice and community-connecting with as many young Jews as we can, whatever their background.

Today, Aish UK operates eight full time branches and provides educational opportunities at over 21 secondary schools, 20 universities and 6 young professional hubs around the country. We also regularly distribute educational and video content through magazine publications, online and through our social media channels.

We believe in providing young Jews with cutting edge and inspiring ways to connect to their Judaism
