New U-M Hillel CEO 
Is Announced

Rabbi Davey Rosen 
will begin his role 
as the CEO of 
Michigan Hillel 
effective immediate-
ly, following a com-
prehensive national 
search, according 
to Abbey Frank, chair, Michigan 
Hillel Board of Trustees, who 
issued an email welcoming Rabbi 
Rosen. 
“Davey’s profound knowledge of 
Judaism, enthusiasm for mentoring 
students and staff, and previous 
experience advocating for Jewish 
students’ needs on campus was also 
highly recognized,
” she wrote. 
Rabbi Rosen has served as the 
interim CEO since November and 
as associate director from 2011 to 
2018. He has relationships with 
many university administrators 
and experience in crisis man-
agement. He received Rabbinic 
ordination from the Academy for 
Jewish Religion and holds a mas-
ter’s in education from the Jewish 
Theological Seminary. Outside of 
his professional life, Davey, with 
his wife, Jillian, is the proud parent 
of three future Wolverines and a 
skilled guitar player. 
“I am thrilled to welcome Davey 
back to Michigan Hillel as our 
next CEO and look forward to 
seeing him take our Hillel to an 
even higher level of excellence,
” she 
wrote.
 In an email to the Hillel com-
munity, Rabbi Rosen wrote, “My 
vision is that every Jewish student 
at Michigan cultivates an obliga-
tion to the Jewish people. As we 
approach Purim — a holiday that 
reminds us of both the dangers 
of antisemitism and the enduring 
power of Jewish resilience — this 
commitment to the Jewish com-
munity is even more vital. Hillel 
will continue to confront antisem-
itism and anti-Israel incidents 
head-on.”
