Update; Taglit-Birthright Israel…

Wow, what an exciting last few weeks. We have made a solid contact with a Taglit-Birthright Israel trip provider and will be recruiting a group to go on a trip this winter. There will be more information to come on the trip with all the how to’s in the coming weeks, but be prepared to sign up quickly because registration is the second week of classes.

We have also started to gather many community supporters for the creation of a new home. It may take the coming semester to put it into action but we are excited of what is to come. For the coming Fall semester we will most likely be using space on campus to host events and meetings.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Jewish News Article

In this weeks Detroit Jewish News you can find an op-ed written by our chairperson about some of the great things the WMU Hillel has accomplished and more information about our current need for a new home.

The issue can be picked up at news stands around metro Detroit or you can view a pdf of the article here.

Update: Hillel Home

We have been working feverishly to find a new place for Hillel to call home and have started to receive some warm feedback. Though no solution has been found yet, we are gathering information about using space on campus, renting a new place off campus, while developing new and old relationships with community members both near and far from Kalamazoo.

For reasons why Hillel needs a place of their own visit our new home page. If you or someone you know may be able to help Hillel find a new home please email us at kazoohillel@yahoo.com.

Enjoy the holiday weekend! Shabbat Shalom.
