alumni establish jewish presence at wayne state
Several Hillel alumni are founding members and active leaders of the AEPi fraternity, now in its second year on campus at Wayne State University. At a recent fraternity dinner, Dr. David Strauss, the Dean of Students, spoke highly of their engagement on campus, referencing them as "true mensches."
"That was really special to hear," said parent Karen Rosenberg, who attended the dinner.
The alumni are Stuart Baum (2011), Sam Grand (2012), Jeremy Rosenberg (2013), David Sable (2010), Adam Weinbaum (2013), and Nisim Nesimov (2013).
Kol hakavod guys! Way to make us kvell!

alumni giving supports the education of future Hillel students
Our Annual Fund closes June 30, giving you plenty of time to make a gift to Hillel Day School to help future generations receive a Jewish day school education. Remember, our Annual Fund supports our tuition assistance program, and benefits more than half our families. Todah Rabbah!
