Hillel outreach worker Carol Kaczander.

Sandy Loeffler, adviser at the
Oakland University Hillel.
"I'm trying to reach every
student I can with viable pro-
grams while serving as the
Jewish presence on campus
and in the Rochester and Troy
communities," Loeffler
explains.

The Hillel/JSO (Jewish Stu-
dent Organization) members
at Oakland have a long list of
1987-88 accomplishments.
Some OU students attended
the national student political
action conference in
Washington in October and
went to the Summit Mobiliza-
tion Rally for Soviet Jews in
December.
Loeffler's group is working
on special lectures and an in-
terfaith Holocaust memorial
— the first at Oakland
University — for the rest of
this school year.
Barbara Selling was
graduated from OU in
December with a degree in
psychology. "The Hillel at OU
was good for me because it
helped me find my identity,"
she says. "It was hard to do
that at Oakland since the
Jewish population there is so
small but Hillel was a good
connecting point for me. And
Sandy's great. She reaches
out and keeps the students in-
volved."
Cheryl Weiss and Marjery
Komer are co-presidents of
the OU Hillel/JSO. They
believe they are getting as
much in return as they are
giving to the organization.
"Since ther aren't many
Jewish people at OU, I believe
it's important to be involved
with Hillel, says Weiss, a
sophomore from Oak Park.
"People are learning we exist
and we're trying to reach the
Jewish students here."
Komer began attending
Hillel functions to meet other
Jewish students. While mak-
ing new friends she also
learned about Israel, the

Jewish holidays and met
Jewish faculty.
Michigan State University
in East Lansing and the
University of Michigan in
Ann Arbor have Hillel foun-
dations that reach thousands
of students each year.
At the University of
Michigan, the numbers are
staggering. There are 6,000
Jewish students at U-M.
More than 2,000 persons at-
tend Hillel's separate High
Holiday services for Or-
thodox, Conservative and
Reform Jews. The Hillel
Foundation is an umbrella for
30 Jewish student
organizations.
Michigan's State Universi-
ty's Milton M. Weinstein
B'nai B'rith Hillel Jewish
Student Center is a "home
away from home' for about
2,500 Jewish students. Ex-
ecutive Director Sheldon
Gellar estimates that two-
thirds are from the Detroit
area and more than 90 per-
cent from Michigan.
"The community likes to
see us as a meeting place and
as a place that provides a lot
of their culture. For the
students, we are a comfor-
table place where we treat
each one on a personal basis.
Once they get comfortable
here, they then can explore
their Judaism. We don't try to
rope them into something
they don't want to get involv-
ed in."
Geller believes Hillel
should be a catalyst and
facilitator for programming.
"As more students get involv-
ed, they have more influence
on what this Hillel has to of-
fer. They take on more respon-
sibilities. We just help them if
they need our help," says
Gellar.
One example of this is the
Soviet Jewry group's idea to
collect 400,000 pennies, one
for each Jewish person who
has applied to emigrate from
the Soviet Union.
