Lean Beef Brisket T he University of Michigan Hillel earned AIPAC’s 2016 Duke Rudman Leadership Award, the organization’s highest honor to recognize campuses leading in pro-Israel politi- cal leadership and activism among its student population and the larger com- munity. The award highlights Michigan Hillel’s work to educate and mobilize students in support of a strong U.S.-Israel relation- ship. U-M had the largest delegation of diverse student leaders in attendance. Tilly Shames, executive director, Michigan Hillel, said, “It was a very spe- cial moment for our Hillel to be honored, on stage in front of 18,000-plus people, with cheers of ‘Go Blue!’ from the audi- ence, for our pro-Israel work on campus. I am so proud of our students — those on campus today and those who came before them — for their leadership and for emphasizing the importance of the America-Israel relationship.” WolvPAC is one of U-M Hillel’s seven student-led groups that comprise its Israel Cohort. Developed by students, the purpose of this group is to provide students — regardless of their American or Israeli political leanings — the oppor- tunity to create tangible ties between campus and Israel. This is done through working with campus and community leaders, as well as meeting with congres- sional leaders.

As a result, the U-M pro-Israel community has been able to defeat BDS [Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions] twice on our campus.” Lynda Giles, chair, Michigan Hillel board of trustees, said, “This award recognizes the hard work of our student leaders and staff team, bringing Israel and Jewish life to campus in a meaning- ful way every day.” To support the mission and students of U-M Hillel, visit michiganhillel.org. * Matzo Ball 1.25 ea.
