Lauder Fellow Helene Malting Stray was elected co-chair of the SJUF board at this year's New Year's Eve Congress in Oslo.
Additionally, Helene helped re-establish SJUF (Scandinavian Union of Jewish Youth) on December 31st at the New Year’s Eve Congress. The union had been dissolved in 2006, leaving Scandinavia without a joint Jewish youth organization for nearly 20 years. Its re-establishment marks a new beginning for cooperation, community, and shared identity among Jewish youth across Scandinavia.
Mazal Tov Helene!
