Putting Faces to Names! Meeting our Brilliant Students

Putting Faces to Names! Meeting our Brilliant Students
11th March 2026 Arianna Steigman

On a wintery March Monday, 7 Hebrew University alumni, currently studying further degrees in the UK with a British Friends scholarship, came to London to meet trustees and team members of the British Friends – graciously hosted by Trustee Joe Smouha KC.

Haling from the universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Kings College, LSE, and Birkbeck, they shared their experiences as Israeli students in English institutions in the current political climate, their plans and hopes for the future.

It was great to hear their stories and perspectives, and welcome them into the flourishing community of HU alumni in the UK, nurtured and managed by Shlomit Divinsky-Livne.

Hoping for more get-togethers to follow!
