Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit

There was a time when the Metro area Jewish population was booming. And those who were successful tended to become involved with the Federation — think William Davidson, Max Fisher…
And the Federation is a wonderful organization. It provides all sorts of social services to the elderly (low rent housing), people with special needs, people down on their luck, etc.
There are also services for new arrivals to the area, like a trial membership to the JCC, and help in connecting with locals.
And there are all sorts of social events, from benefit galas, to young professional bar nights.
I’ve found the social events to be very amusing, but I intend to become involved on the charitable end of things if I ever make a living (if they will take money from a lost soul like me). I just hope that they can weather the flight of young adults from Detroit, and the approaching disappearance of the older generation of stalwarts.
