People sitting at tables reading books. The University of Minnesota Hillel Society was founded in 1940, with Rabbi Milgrom as its first director. By 1941 the membership of over 500 enjoyed a full agenda of programs including classes, discussion groups, debate, drama and social activities. The lack of a permanent home was an issue as early as 1943, and the U. J. F. C. sanctioned a fund drive in 1945. A permanent building (the current one) was purchased in 1956. Even without a home, activities included a model Seder, Friday night services and dinners, and activities, such as vocational guidance, for returning veteran students. The Seder in the photograph was held during the early 1940s at the Tau Delta Phi house, a fraternity originally founded by Jews in New York in 1914.

Children of varying ages stand and sit in front of the Jewish Sheltering Home building. The adults in the photograph are Rose and Harry Feiler: they were administrators of the Home in the mid-1930s. The Sheltering Home was a community resource dedicated to providing a stable, Jewish environment for Jewish children unable to live with their families. Residency was for the most part short term, with children staying until a sick parent recovered, or a child could be taken in by a member of an extended family. Children attended public school, and went to Talmud Torah after school. The St. Paul community also provided support for the home.
