MSU Hillel Kitchen
To Permit Treife Food
ELIZABETH APPLEBAUM ASSISTANT EDITOR
F
or years, Michigan State
University Hillel offi-
cials say they acted like
kosher police, trying to
oversee all the food that came
into the building.
Now they've decided to
make a change. Following ap-
proval by the board, the MSU
Hillel will no longer be
kosher, though events spon-
sored by the Jewish Students
Union will continue to ob-
serve the dietary laws.
Hillel Director Mark
Finkelstein said the decision
was made for "practical rea-
sons." Ten students live at the
facility and have complete ac-
cess to the Hillel kitchen. Two
of those students keep kosher.
The rest, along with most stu-
dents at the school, are not in-
terested in maintaining the
standards of kashrut, he said.
'e can't any longer ensure
a level of kashrut with which
"This is supposed
to be the Jewish
students' home
away from home."
— Jason Friedenberg
we're comfortable," he added.
"What we can do is tell stu-
dents that it's not consistent
with Judaism to bring in
items like shellfish and pork,
but still we're not going to po-
lice what they do."
A number of students, how-
ever, are unhappy with the
move, and say Hillel repre-
sentatives highly underesti-
mate the number of students
who want to see the facility
remain kosher. "The stu-
dents who want to make ba-
con in the Hillel kitchen are
an incredible minority," says
MSU senior Jason Frieden-
berg, of West Bloomfield, who
lives at the MSU Hillel. "Even
a lot of those who don't keep
kosher feel ideologically that
the facility should continue to
be kosher.
"People sympathize with
Hillel and understand the
complications involved," he
added. "We think there is a
reasonably simple - solution:
put in another kitchen. We
suggested converting one
bathroom on the second floor
where students live to let
them cook whatever they
want, but keep the main
kitchen kosher." Hillel lead-
ers, he said, were not inter-
ested.
Hillel plans on kashering
its kitchen for events such as
Shabbat dinners, which at-
tract anywhere from 30 to
about 100 persons, but Mr.
Friedenberg is not appeased.
"That's one day," he said.
"What about the rest of the
week?
"This is supposed to be the
Jewish students' home away
from home," Mr. Friedenberg
added. "And now we're not go-
ing to be able to keep kosher
there." ❑
