WHAT

Since its creation in 1984, the Summer University has become the biggest European event of the year, gathering more than 500 young Jewish people aged from 18 to 35.

The Summer U has become a traditional and inescapable event in Europe.




It is an incredible week about sharing new ideas, views and dreams. It is about discovering yourself, having a lot of fun, connecting with your community and to live through a vibrant, energetic and engaging Jewish life.




This year EUJS has decided to bring its largest annual event to Istanbul between the 17th and 24th of August 2008.





On both sides of the Bosphorus, its skyline studded with domes and minarets, Istanbul is one of the truly great romantic cities. Its history tracks back from Byzantium to Constantinople to its place at the head of the Ottoman Empire. Today it hums as Turkey's cultural heart and good-time capital.





In this extensive, where crusaders and janissaries once marched; admire the most beautiful architectural sites, look into the sultan's harem; and hunt for bargains in the Kapali Çarsi (Grand Bazaar).



We are very happy to organize such a large event into the home of a thriving, active, and prosperous Jewish community.



An amazing event in a unique place where you will be welcomed by the most warm, kind and generous people of the European continent.



Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to discover the magic of this marvelous country and to depart to this incredible experience that is Summer U….
