History

Established in 1926.

University of Michigan Hillel is unparalleled in terms of its size, diversity and quality of programming. Our Hillel supports 60 independent student groups, spanning the full breadth of Jewish life. Each group provides opportunities for students to become involved as leaders, driving the programming and decision-​making forward for their group and community. Students build leadership, engagement, and community-​organizing skills through our Hillel that benefit them in their roles on campus, in finding employment, and in life long after they graduate.

Our programming covers social, political, religious, cultural and educational areas, all intended to help students access Jewish life and community on their own terms. We offer concerts, lectures, films, classes, community service, yoga, religious services, discussion groups, dialogue, free Shabbat dinners, and a full kosher meal program.

He draws inspiration from flavors of India, Latin America, France and Asia, but his style would be best described as New American.

He is going into his seventh year as the executive chef at Hillel, where many fondly refer to him as «kosher king of Ann Arbor».

Emil is dedicated to the principles of the slow foods movement. In his free time he does volunteer work for local food initiatives, makes hand crafted cheeses, and home cured meats. He currently lives in Ypsilanti, with his wife lovely Monica and their two dogs.
