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." ❑ Lunch, Learn With Midrasha Dr. Irving Panush, professor of humanities at Oakland Community College, will lead a lunch and learn session on Jewish ethical literature noon-1:30 p.m. May 12 at the Max M.
