A thousand Jewish students at the University of Michigan are being served Passover meals during the entire eight days of the festival through the agency of the B’nai B’rith Hillel Foundation at Ann Arbor.
The Hillel Foundation has hired a house. In addition, the Foundation arranged seder services. Most of the students who are availing themselves of this arrangement are from strictly Orthodox homes in distant cities.
Similar arrangements have been made by the other eight B’nai B’rith Hillel Foundations, located at the Universities of Illinois, Ohio State, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Northwestern, California, Texas and Cornell.
