Howard Lupovitch, a
graduate student in history at
U-M and student coordinator
of the Orthodox minyan, is one
of those. Lupovitch, from West
Bloomfield, is thrilled with the
growth and success of the three
minyanim at Hillel, particu-
larly the Orthodox one.
He speaks highly of Hillel in
general: "In the five years I've
been here, Hillel's gotten bet-
ter and better/
"It's just sometimes they get
lost about their direction. It's
great they bring in Kurt Von-
negut and Joseph Heller —
great, great, but why's Hillel
doing this? Why not bring in
something with a little Jewish
flavor? I thought the premise of
Hillel was that it was a Jewish
student center. It's not sup-
posed to be a second Michigan
Student Assembly.
"Is someone really going to
go see Kurt Vonnegut and say,
'Hillel's sponsoring this? I'm
going to services this Friday
night.' "
Todd
to
According
Endelman, a professor of
Jewish history at the U-M who
sits on Hillel's governing
board, questions like these are
not infrequent before the
board, which meets once a
month to discuss general policy
issues. (The board consists of
ten students, six faculty mem-
bers and one non-faculty
member of the Ann Arbor
community.) Resources, after
all, are limited: Does money,
time and attention given to a
lecture by Vonnegut take away
from other, Jewish programs?
Is the sheer size of Hillel's pro-
gramming causing it to lose
perspective?
While Endelman admits the
necessity of asking such ques-
tions — of constantly testing
the direction in which the
organization is moving — he
does conclude that, "This is an
extraordinary Hillel. Nothing
succeeds like success."
And how does he define suc-
cess?
"In a superficial way, success
is bringing in large numbers of
people. But it also lies in chan-

neling people into more impor-
tant aspects of Hillel. And
there are more subtle ways
that Hillel is successful: It
helps Jewish students on cam-
pus feel that it's alright to be
Jewish, and to actively express
their Jewishness.
"It makes Jewish activities a
legitimate part of the whole
spectrum."
Plans currently cooking at
Hillel include a Judaica
bookstore in the new Hillel
building; a professional
chamber music group devoted
to "Jewish Music in the
Classical Repertoire"; an ex-
panded Hill Street Players to
produce homegrown "issue"
plays as well as already exist-
ing ones; a symposium featur-
ing Vonnegut, Heller, Norman
Mailer and Gore Vidal on
writers and war.
"If Hillels have an image
problem," says Brooks, "it's be-
cause they have a reality prob-
lem: a limited agenda.
"Dealing with critical issues
is a Jewish issue. There was a
time when this Hillel was a
very comfortable club of people
with shared interests. That
will never be true again." ❑
