f you’re a student on campus
at Michigan State in East
Lansing or at University of
Michigan in Ann Arbor, you
can still attend religious services
and get a holiday meal.
At Michigan State, Hillel
offers in-person meals for
both Rosh Hashanah and
Yom Kippur as well as vir-
tual service options through
Congregation Shaarey Zedek
(Conservative) and Temple
Israel (Reform). Both services
and meals are free of charge to
MSU students. Meals are $25 for
parents, family and/or commu-
nity members. RSVP at https://
www.msuhillel.org.
University of Michigan also
offers High Holiday services on
campus. You can join Hillel for
Reform, Traditional Egalitarian,
Conservative or Orthodox ser-
vices on Rosh Hashanah and
Yom Kippur.
Services on Rosh Hashanah
will be held inside and outside
the Hillel building, as well as
in the Ballroom at the Union.
Services on Yom Kippur will
also be held at the Ballroom
at the League. Due to contact
tracing requirements, students
should register for each service
they may attend. Walk-ins to
services will be welcomed with
ID, as long as the room capacity
has not been reached. Details at
https://michiganhillel.org/stu-
dents/highholidays.
MISSING CLASS
If you need to speak with a
professor about missing class
or exams, MSU Hillel provides
a letter you can download if
any professors have questions
regarding a class that needs to
be missed due to the observance
of Rosh Hashanah or Yom
Kippur. It’s available at https://
www.msuhillel.org/highholiday-
letter.
The University if Michigan
has made faculty aware of the
Jewish calendar and encourages
faculty and staff to avoid plan-
ning mandatory events on those
days. A reasonable accommo-
dation should be made for any
student to make up work missed
for religious observance.
U-M Hillel advises if you plan
to miss class for High Holiday
observance, the best practice
is to contact your professors
as early as possible to let them
know to work out any necessary
accommodations. Occasionally,
instructors require a written
note confirming participation
or more explanation about reli-
gious needs. If that’s the case,
the folks at Hillel are willing to
help. @
