Moments later, the entire
mess hall reverberated with
the voices of the students as
they sang along.
Never before had I wit-
nessed so many young adults,
from more than 85 different
universities, unite with the
amount of spirit present at
this event, Hillel's Interna-
tional Leaders Assembly.
Held Aug. 25-29, the as-
sembly brought together Jew-
ish student leaders from
universities throughout five
countries: Australia, Great
Britain, the United States, Is-
rael and Canada. Students
discussed topics relevant to
the theme of the conference,
"The Power To Change."
Representatives from uni-
versities in Michigan includ-
ed: Rebecca Poger, Adam
Strauss, Julie Litberg and
me, Staci Bloch, from Michi-
gan State University; Todd
Kreiger and Brian Schwartz
from the University of Michi-
gan; and Joshua Cohen from
Wayne State University.
Most college students in-
volved with their campus Hil-
lels will readily admit that
they have tried endless times
to kick their organizations
into gear, to attract more ac-
tive participants and dispel
myths, like "Hillel is too
cliquish. It's for nerds. It only
appeals to Orthodox Jews."
At the conference, we dis-
cussed Jewish apathy and
what we, as student leaders,
should do to encourage ac-
tivism. Another issue we
broached was funding, an
age-old problem that doesn't
seem to be going away:
Where are we going to find
money for student activities
and staff?

Mad Bloch
The solutions were not as
easy to identify as the prob-
lems. It was comforting to
know, however, that Hillels
of all sizes and in other coun-
tries are dealing with the
same dilemmas. Leaders of
Hillel at Michigan State Uni-
versity — a campus that is
only 4 percent Jewish — are
asking the same questions as
their counterparts at Bran-
deis University, which is 70
percent Jewish.
Although the problems
seem to be universal, the so-
lutions are not. Hillels on
commuter campuses must at-
tract young adults, just like
the Hillel at the University of
Michigan. But logistical con-
siderations of a commuter
campus make the solutions
for each much different.
All of us who attended the
conference agreed that we
must get these messages out.
Hillel is not a club. It is a
foundation for all types of
Jewish activities: religious,
social and academic. It wel-
comes all Jewish students, re-
gardless of denomination.
Also, Hillel is a lot more than
a reactive institution. Stu-
dents participate in times
other than crisis.
Richard Joel, Internation-
al Hillel director, was the
force behind the program and
a great source of inspiration.
He called for us "to empow-
er ourselves as Jews, as the
future and the present
and...as the source of Jewish
presence on campus."
The biggest achievement
during our time at Camp
Moshava was the level of en-
thusiasm we raised among
ourselves. By the last day, all
200 students seemed geared
up and ready to go back to
school to start an excellent
year of Jewish activities at
MSU, U-M, WSU and Hillels
around the world. ❑
