Grand Valley's Hillel is Growing

by Carrie Subelsky

Grand Rapids

With each new class of students, the Jewish community is growing at Grand Valley State University
in Grand Rapids — and so is our Hillel. About 200 Jewish students attend the university.
Members look forward to the diverse events we plan and to meeting new GVSU Jewish students
we hope to engage in Hillel.
We've held several exciting educational and cultural programs this year as well as celebrations
for the Jewish holidays. We also participate in events held by Temple Emanuel in Grand Rapids,
including Mitzvah Day and High Holiday services.
In April, we are looking forward to a Krav Maga event where students will learn a form of Israeli
self-defense in a fun and safe manner. Our monthly Shabbat dinners give us the opportunity to
get together to celebrate
and catch up with one
another. This year, we had
a Taste of Israel Night and
a Chanukah party at the
Shabbat dinners.
We also will host a
Holocaust Memorial event
on campus. Although our
Hillel is a relatively small
organization, it continues
to grow and has a bright
future. @
