High Holidays at East Lansing and Ann Arbor

COURTESY OF U-M HILLEL

If you’re a student on campus at Michigan State in East Lansing or at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, you can still attend religious services and get a holiday meal.

At Michigan State, Hillel offers in-person meals for both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur as well as virtual service options through Congregation Shaarey Zedek (Conservative) and Temple Israel (Reform). Both services and meals are free of charge to MSU students. Meals are $25 for parents, family and/or community members. RSVP at https:// www.msuhillel.org.

University of Michigan also offers High Holiday services on campus. You can join Hillel for Reform, Traditional Egalitarian, Conservative or Orthodox services on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

Services on Rosh Hashanah will be held inside and outside the Hillel building, as well as in the Ballroom at the Union. Services on Yom Kippur will also be held at the Ballroom at the League. Due to contact tracing requirements, students should register for each service they may attend. Walk-ins to services will be welcomed with ID, as long as the room capacity has not been reached. Details at https://michiganhillel.org/students/highholidays.

MISSING CLASS

If you need to speak with a professor about missing class or exams, MSU Hillel provides a letter you can download if any professors have questions regarding a class that needs to be missed due to the observance of Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur. It’s available at https:// www.msuhillel.org/highholidayletter.

The University if Michigan has made faculty aware of the Jewish calendar and encourages faculty and staff to avoid planning mandatory events on those days. A reasonable accommodation should be made for any student to make up work missed for religious observance.

U-M Hillel advises if you plan to miss class for High Holiday observance, the best practice is to contact your professors as early as possible to let them know to work out any necessary accommodations. Occasionally, instructors require a written note confirming participation or more explanation about religious needs. If that’s the case, the folks at Hillel are willing to help. @
