We were devastated to wake up on Shabbat morning and the Shmini Atzeret/Simchat Torah holiday to the news of the horrific attacks on the Jewish homeland and the Israeli people. The photos, videos, and headlines of this attack against innocent people are shocking and heartbreaking; our hearts and prayers are with all of the Israeli people and families who have been affected by this tragedy. We are thinking of our students and community members with family and friends in Israel, as well as our alumni living there. We are here for you.
These events are difficult and the images are jarring and gut-wrenching, and we want you to know that Michigan Hillel staff is here for support. The building will be open for students to stop by throughout the day on Monday to debrief, talk to peers or simply be in a safe space with others experiencing similar feelings. Additionally, we are planning to gather as a community for a vigil on Monday at 7 p.m. at the Hillel building.
As always, you can also schedule time to talk individually with one of us.
If you feel like you need immediate support, please call or text any of our staff, or reach out to Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) 734-764-8312.
