Most of the friendships that I have made at MSU are from Hillel. I have met Jews from all over the state of Michigan and suprisingly a lot who are out of state students like myself. Every time I come to Hillel at MSU I am just amazed at all of the wonderful programs and events that they offer. Throughout the week, they have events such as broomball, bowling, lectures on Jewish history/politics,cooking and volunteering programs such as Tzedek and Teva that are very involved with the Lansing/East Lansing community during the year. Every Friday night, they have Shabbat reform and conservative services. Even if you are not in the mood to attend a service you can go to their delicious Shabbat meal every Friday night. During the major Jewish holidays they hold services and serve high holiday meals. Once a month on Sundays Hillel holds a brunch with all of the Jewish favorites such as bagels, lox, cream cheese, brownies, and kugel. WHO COULD ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE? In addition to all of these wonderful programs, Hillel also offers an alternative spring break trip and 2 Israel Birthright trips (winter and summer) during the year. I can not end this review without giving credit to Robyn, Cindy, Audrey and all of the staff of MSU HIllel who are so welcoming and friendly and create these amazing programs mentioned above. They are always there if you need someone to talk to or even to just say hello. MSU Hillel has to be one of my favorite groups to be apart of on campus. I look forward to coming back for the rest of my time at MSU.
