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.
