Podcast: Life’s a Team Sport

Meet Adam Blanck. The community all-star and former NEXTGen Detroit President who explains why the Detroit Jewish community and Federation’s “Go do it!” attitude showed him that anything was possible. We dive into the unique connection, collaboration and cohesiveness that makes Jewish Detroit so special. Adam even offers advice for young leaders or those who want to become leaders. Hint: you always get more out of it than you put in. 

Mazel tov to this month’s Mitzvah Maker: David Contorer

Usually our Mitzvah Maker segment honors an unsung hero in our community who is doing amazing things for others.  

This month, we speak to David Contorer, the not-so-much behind-the-scenes Executive Director of Hebrew Free Loan Michigan. Why David? Because Hebrew Free Loan makes mitzvahs happen every day and we want more people to know about them. From helping those in our community in dire situations all the way to those with a dream like going to college or starting a business, hear how Hebrew Free Loan is ready to help.
