Detroit Repair fellows and
alumni facilitated three
different service projects
themed “service in the suk-
kah” at the University of
Michigan’s Hillel for 75 stu-
dents. Participants packed
spice bottles for the Detroit
community fridge, made tug
toys for Rebel Dogs Detroit
and made bookmarks (to
be distributed with books)
for Life Remodeled’s safe
Halloween.
Though some projects had
to be brought inside because
of the rain, the dedication of
these volunteers to show up
and serve led to successful
events for all.
Some 75 students from University of Michigan Hillel joined Detroit
Repair fellows and alumni for three service projects during Sukkot.
