Support Rabbi Fishel Cohen

To:  University Jewish Chaplaincy Board

Rabbi Fishel Cohen has been the faithful chaplain of Birmingham University, Aston, BCU, Coventry, Derby, De Montfort, Leicester, Loughborough, Northampton, Solihull, Warwick and Wolverhampton campuses, and has been for more than two decades.
Fishel and his wife Esther have welcomed us - the current undergraduates - and innumerable alumni into their home for Shabbat, for the Chagim, or just to chat if we were feeling low.
Their experience and commitment are beneficial to every Jewish student here; whether Fishel is standing atop a tall ladder lighting the Chanukah candles outside the Guild, or coming round to every student in the first week, and welcoming us to University life - taking the time to invite us to cake evenings by Esther, he shows a loving dedication to all of us.
In particular, there are many reasons why Birmingham is the most popular location today for Jewish students, but one of them is undoubtedly the atmosphere created by the caring hand of Fishel and Esther.
Despite everything that Fishel has done for us, there are elements within the University Jewish Chaplaincy Board that would like to see Fishel replaced, because they feel that he doesn’t represent the best interests of us, the students. We are here to state that the opposite is true...

We want to publicly thank Fishel for everything that he has done for the Jewish community here in the Midlands, and we see absolutely no reason to replace him.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
