WANTED: Up North from page 30 to the larger community. There have yet to be any inci- dents of anti-Semitism at NMU, and the hope is that it will stay that way. Local Temple's Support Campus is approximately 30 min- utes from Temple Beth Shalom in Ishpeming. We gathered with mem- bers for High Holiday services and have celebrated Shabbats with them. Those of us who have attended ser- vices could not be more thankful for how welcoming they are to students. There are seven synagogues north of the 45th Parallel. Who would have thought, right?! A few years back, all seven synagogues had female presidents. During this time, they concluded that they wanted to bring each small community togeth- er and, from this desire, Udor v'Dor Northern Michigan Jewish Women Rural Leadership Consortium was born. They gather four times a year to promote the Jewish future of Northern Michigan and have a retreat dedicated to women's spiri- tuality. NMU will have three students represented at the Women's Spirituality Retreat in St. Ignace this month. This is the first time that students have taken interest in the larger picture, and that is really something to celebrate. As we begin to create Jewish life on campus here at NMU, our friends at Michigan Technological University in Houghton are also beginning to strengthen their own community. Lorne Newhouse, with the sup- port of the Hillel Campus Alliance of Michigan, is beginning to connect and build relationships with Jewish students at Michigan Tech. He is excited to bring people together to celebrate Shabbat and define what it means to be Jewish on campus. Together, we are working closely to make sure that we are laying down a structure that benefits Jewish life in Northern Michigan. Feel free to reach out to us if you know of anyone interested in help- ing grow Jewish life in the Upper Peninsula: Lauren at LYellen@nmu. edu and Lorne at LSNewhou@mtu. edu. @ ENGINEERS, ARCHITECTS, SCIENTISTS, AND BRAINIACS. 11 Lawrence Technological University isn't for just anyone.

OUR WELL MANNERED DOGS TRAINING PROGRAMS ♦ PRIVATE BOARDING ♦ BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT Wolverines from page 30 The Wolverines for Israel event led by two pro-Israel Jewish student groups provided a show of strength and solidarity and prompted discussions on the U-M Diag. just a physical reminder of the strong support for Israel that exists on our campus. The pow- erful display of shirts left the students feeling comforted and empowered. No matter who was wearing the shirt — a friend, a classmate or a random passerby — he or she felt a sense of connection, a sense of belonging. We understood on that day that we all shared one thing in common — our unwavering support for our Jewish state. The Wolverines for Israel T-shirt campaign set an optimistic tone on U-M's campus. Although we may face events this semester that delegitimize the state of Israel, we con- tinue engaging in pro-Israel events, knowing that we have a strong community to stand with and call upon. @ Birmingham ♦ Detroit ♦ Grosse Pointes ♦ Rochester 28 Years Serving the Great Lakes Region at the University of Michigan and president U-M junior and president of I-LEAD.
