Yom Kippur

This is on Saturday 18 September - the first day of Intro Week. For Jews who do not travel on Yom Kippur this may present some challenges.

There are a couple of options you could choose from.

1. Contact Accommodation and Campus Services to ask if you can move in before Yom Kippur starts on Friday 17th. We can then help you find services and somewhere to break the fast if you wish.

2. If you wish to arrive on the Sunday and will be in University accommodation, try to get an arrival slot for University accommodation on the Sunday. If none is available, contact Accommodation and Campus Services to request help.

For more information about matters relating to Jewish students, please email Debora.Green@sheffield.ac.uk. Shana Tova! (Happy New Year!).

Please ask your academic department for permission to be away from lectures/classes for any dates when you must be absent for religious reasons. Please click on the link below for further information.
