Welcome to
Michigan Hillel
Our mission is to enrich the lives of Jewish students so that they may enrich the Jewish people and the world.
When one thinks about Michigan Hillel, two defining characteristics come to mind: Community and Leadership.
Connect.
The Michigan Difference. Michigan Hillel is unparalleled in terms of its size, diversity, and quality of programming. Our Hillel supports nearly 40 independent student groups for our 6,500 Jewish students on campus. Each group provides opportunities for students to become involved as leaders, driving the programming and decision-making forward for their group and community.
Programming.
Create and enjoy Jewish community on campus. Find everything from Shabbat & High Holidays, Hillel-wide events, and peer-led programming.
First Year Students
FYSH (First Year Students at Hillel) is an active group offering many events throughout the year. They offer programs like our Early Access Overnight Retreat, bonfires at Hillel, Freshmen Shabbats, ice cream socials, mentorship programs, res hall events & leadership opportunities.




Returning Students
All students can engage in and build community in so many different ways. We offer many student-led groups, leadership and internship opportunities, learning cohorts, Greek life programs, plus international immersive experiences, too. We encourage you to explore these and more through our Hillel Connect program to get get involved.
Grad Students
The University of Michigan has one of the largest Jewish graduate student communities in the nation. Our graduate student community, jUnion, is a warm and welcoming group, hosting many social, holiday, and other events at Hillel and in homes. Connect with jGrad to become a part of the community.
