hile college students often have a nonreligious agenda for Friday
e's cnings, a recent University of Michigan family Shabbat event
showed one group of proud parents what their children have been
up to.
By incorporating a Shabbat service and dinner into the school's annual par-
ents' weekend, families were able to share the experience with students.
As on every Friday evening during the course of the school year, those attend-
ing the parents' program divided into three groups in the Mandell L. Berman
Center for University of Michigan Hillel building. Orthodox students participated
in a service led by Ann Arbor Orthodox Minyan Rabbi Rod Glogower; a
Conservative minyan was run by U-M student leader Eric Feldman and a Reform
chavurah was directed by Olga Frankstein, a U-M student.
At the conclusion of the service, the 225 students and guests joined together
in the dining room, for a shared Shabbat dinner. U-M Hillel's Ann Arbor
kosher kitchen also provides meals for students during the week, under the
supervision of Rabbi Glogower.
The evening's program included a performance by Kol HaKavod, a musical
group of Hillel members
who sing Hebrew and
Yiddish music and popular
tunes translated into
Hebrew.
Anne Leavitt-Gruberger,
Hillel staff member, says up
to 150 students :qtend the
service and dinner weekly,
many with standing reserva-
tions for Shabbat dinner.
"Some of them are far from
a lot of them are
home
away for the first time," she
says. "Hillel can provide
them with a familiar atmos-
phere."
Following the meal, the
group of students revealed to
U-M Hillel members Eric Feldman of Farmington
the parents the two signifi-
Hills
and Jonah Shifi-in of Ann Arbor
cant unbreakable bonds they
have with one another.
Connecting as Jews on
Shabbat, they sang, as they do weekly, the grace after meals. As it ended, the
quieter words of the prayer became a gradually louder, wordless rendition of the
University of Michigan fight song. 112:

everal Hebrew words have
made their way into the
English language. Jubilee, a cel-
ebration, comes from yoval, the 50th
year celebrated in biblical Israel.
Cabal, an intrigue, comes from
Kabbalah, sometimes-secret Jewish
mystical studies and ceremonies.
Hallelujah also has a Hebrew influ-
ence; what is it?

There once was a boychik* named Sy
Whose matzah ball cravings ran high.
He'd dip in his ladle
And pull out a knaydle,'
And say, "What a fressee — am I."

"Standing at the concentration
camps, remembering and imagining,
was impossible. But even harder was
finding a balance between the ordi-
nary struggles of the day-to-day and
the enormity of the Holocaust."
—Rabbi Marla Hornsten of Temple
Israel in West Bloomfield, describing the
hardest part about the recent March of
the Living-Detroit Teen Unity
Polish/Israel Experience.
