The Shalvah minyan at the University of Michigan is a traditional, pluralistic, Carlebach style Kabbalat Shabbat service with separate seating and participation by women. The minyan has great spirit and energy and also hosts a monthly Rosh Chodesh meal and text study.

Dor Chadash, meaning "New Generation," meets every Friday evening at Hillel for services and also bi-weekly for Shabbat morning and afternoon services. Our services are upbeat, participatory, and energetic.

The UM Hillel’s O-Minyan provides a warm, welcoming community for Orthodox students and others in the campus and Ann Arbor communities. The O-Minyan meets for morning and afternoon services and every Friday for Kabbalat Shabbat, Shabbat morning, and the third Shabbat meal.

Hillel has in the past hosted a Humanistic Havurah that has met for services, movies, and discussions of Jewish culture. For more information contact Michael Brooks

The University of Michigan Reform Chavurah is a dynamic group of progressive Jews on campus. Along with providing Reform style services every Friday evening, the Reform Chavurah also sponsors occasional social events that bring together Reform students from across campus.

Be our guest for Shabbat dinner (during Fall/Winter Semesters). It's FREE (for students)! Please go here to reserve your Shabbat meals.

High Holidays is a great way to begin the new year. Hillel holds Orthodox, Reform, and Conservative High Holiday services. Tickets are free for UM students.

Right after Yom Kippur many students come to Hillel to build the community sukkah where lunch and dinner are served every day. There is a community-wide celebration of Simchat Torah (people from other schools actually come to Ann Arbor for this) and Chanukah is celebrated with menorah lighting both at Hillel and in residence hall lounges.

ZiG, short for zil gmar (go and study), is the advice that Hillel gave to someone who wanted to know the essence of Judaism after citing the Jewish version of the Golden rule. Like Hillel, we need to find our own path to truth. Here at the ZiG we’re eager to help you with a variety of learning opportunities. Enjoy the classes!

The University of Michigan has a policy that assures that students will not be academically penalized for observing their religious holidays (you can find the policy here).
