to offering in-person 
Shabbat dinners in tents 
outside of Hillel, we will 
continue to support meals 
in students’ homes and 
smaller gatherings around 
campus, catered by Hillel 
or cooked by our students 
themselves. This is a 
particularly perfect fit for 
our upperclassmen students 
who are in their own homes 
and benefit long term from 
gaining experience and 
confidence hosting Shabbat 
for their peers. 
While this year we 
will return to multiple, 
in-person services (Reform, 
Conservative, Orthodox), 
we will keep the outdoor 
shofar blowing around 
campus to make the High 
Holidays more accessible 
and flexible to fit into 
our students’ busy class 
schedules. 
The other adaptations 
from last year that we plan 
to keep moving forward are:
• Utilizing Zoom to 
increase access to speakers 
directly from Israel and 
around the country rather 
than waiting for speaker 
tours to bring experts to 
Ann Arbor, 

• Our new online 
platform powered by 
OneTable that empowers 
students to host their own 
programs, design content 
for themselves and invite 
their peers 
• Cooking classes online 
so that students can join 
with their roommates and 
use their own kitchens, 
• And inviting local food 
trucks to our Hillel parking 
lot to bring Ann Arbor 
directly to our students.
As an organization that 
positions itself as the 
primary Jewish community 
builder on campus, this 
past year’s limitations were 
challenging. However, 
the disruption of COVID 
encouraged us to lean even 
further into innovation and 
experimentation, allowing 
us to reimagine how our 
Hillel builds community. 
We know that we’ll be 
keeping not only these new 
approaches but also the 
spirit of innovation that 
helped us remain successful 
all year. @
