Jewish Penicillin Hotline
Our Jewish Penicillin Hotline is a longstanding student-led initiative and tradition at U of M. Our student delivery crew brings frozen kosher matzah ball soup (vegetarian option available) to sick students on campus, at no cost! If you or someone you know is feeling sick, please fill out the form below to place a soup order.
