Spring 2022
Standing Up For Mental Health
Event as part of the Reva Stocker Lecture Series, chaired by Diane & Bill Goldstein and Julie & Jason Page on May 12, 2022.
One of only a handful of comedians to perform on every single late-night talk show, Gary offers candid reflections on his struggles with depression in his HBO comedy special, The Great Depresh, executive produced by Judd Apatow. With humor, vulnerability and honesty as his weapons, Gary not only destigmatizes mental illness, but methodically lays out the symptoms he suffered and care he received, normalizing mental health treatments and offering hope.
Come join us at Temple Israel’s outdoor pavilion as Gary takes to the stage and delivers an evening of his signature confessional storytelling, guaranteed to make you laugh. Your support will help Jewish Family Service continue to provide services for older adults, mental health and wellness, and safety net assistance. Mental health services include counseling, suicide prevention trainings and the We Need To Talk community initiative. These mental health services have always been a key service provided by JFS and, with the continuing impact of the pandemic, have never been more critical.
This nationally renowned talent will be performing at Jewish Family Service’s Spotlight

Mental health issues are no laughing matter. Unless you’re Gary Gulman.
Meet our Spotlight Event Chairs The goal of the Nancy and Jim Grosfeld Leadership Mission at the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit is to develop Jewish Detroit’s next generation of leaders. When it comes to past participants Bill Goldstein and Jason Page, you can consider it mission accomplished. In addition to their roles as board members of Jewish Family Service, the two, along with their wives, Diane (also a Grosfeld grad) and Julie, are serving as chairs of the JFS’s annual Spotlight Event. This year’s event will shine a light on mental health in our community. “The topic of mental health is especially resonant for us as we have family members who have been struggling with these issues over the past few years,” says Jason. “The event is addressing an issue that is incredibly important,” adds Bill. “It, unfortunately, promises to continue to be a challenge as we continue to work through mental health problems associated with our COVID-y world.” The Goldsteins and the Pages were excited for the opportunity to reach out to the community and share the work being done by JFS in their roles as co-chairs. This year’s Spotlight Event speaker is comedian Gary Gulman, who uses humor and vulnerability to share his own struggles with depression. “We are firm believers that laughter is the best medicine and we think Gary Gulman does an amazing job of bringing humor and connection to challenges that all of us are facing—now, more than ever,” says Jason. “We’re eager to help spread the word about the mental health services and programming offered by JFS.” “Past JFS events have been amazing,” says Bill. “Knowing that we could build on those previous successes, and work with Jason and Julie, was a chance we didn’t want to pass up.”
“I find the weekly Kosher Meals on Wheels deliveries to be most satisfying,” says Jason. “It allows me to interact with clients and see, firsthand, the impact that JFS makes in their lives.” Who: Diane and Bill Goldstein What: She’s a commercial real estate attorney; he’s an ophthalmologist. Where: The couple resides in Bloomfield Township. How: Bill is co-chair of JFS’s Leadership Committee. He volunteers for Fall Fix Up and delivers meals through Kosher Meals on Wheels. He is the chair of the Affinities department and immediate past co-chair of the Maimonides Society at Federation. He also serves on the board of Yahad-In Unum (a French organization founded to locate the sites of mass graves of Jewish victims of the Nazi mobile killing units). Diane is the immediate past chair of Federation’s Israel and Overseas Committee and a board member of the Detroit Institute of Arts Department of Prints, Drawing and Photographs. She serves on the executive committee and the Board of Governors of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit, as well as on the board of Yahad-In Unum. The couple is co-chairing the upcoming Motor City Mission to Israel. Who: Julie and Jason Page What: She’s a second grade teacher; he owns a software development company. Where: The couple resides in Huntington Woods.
What have the two found most rewarding about their involvement with JFS? “Serving as a board member has shown me just how diverse JFS’s services are,” says Bill. “Being part of such a well-run and caring organization has been very fulfilling.”
How: Jason serves on the JFS Executive Committee, co-chairs its Finance Committee and volunteers with Kosher Meals on Wheels. Both he and Julie participate in JFS’s Fall Fix Up and volunteer with Yad Ezra.

two-year professional development opportunity for our professional leadership team.
•The D. Dan and Betty Kahn Foundation invests in
many things at JFS, including helping older adults age in place through the utilization of assistive technology, our expansion of social work services at Jewish day schools, and the support of our behavioral health services.
•United Way for Southeastern Michigan provides
From the Board Chair To say that this has been a busy three years is a bit of an understatement. The global pandemic certainly brought challenges. But that didn’t stop JFS from serving those in need and expanding its range of services. A few examples:
•An award from the Claims Conference more than
doubled to over $11 million, which allows us to serve approximately 500 Holocaust survivors in metro Detroit and an additional 200 throughout the 15-state region for which we have this sacred responsibility.
•The We Need to Talk youth mental health initiative became a program housed at JFS, in strong partnership with Federation (along with many other Jewish organizations) to continue serving the entire Jewish community.
•Lev Detroit was created to further establish our
commitment to welcoming and serving members of the Orthodox community.
Our work couldn’t be done without the generosity of dozens of funders and hundreds of donors who invest in our work, both within and outside of the Jewish community. I’d like to highlight three of them:
•Since its inception 25 years ago, The Jewish Fund has invested more in JFS than any other single grantee. Right now, we receive significant dollars for aging-in-place services, our Zero Suicide Initiative, and capacity building through our recently adopted strategic plan, as well as a
funding to help people meet their basic needs and over the last two years has provided us with almost an additional one million dollars for pandemic-related assistance.
Which brings me to the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit. While I knew that Federation was important when I began my role as board chair, I now have a greater understanding of what that means. Our community and JFS would look and be completely different if it weren’t for our strong and central Federation, not only raising dollars, but functioning as the central address of our Jewish community, taking care of Jewish people in the Detroit area and around the world. Serving during a global pandemic. Is there more that really needs to be said? Yes. Presiding over JFS, mostly remotely, highlights the significant need for JFS and I have a profound appreciation for the context within which JFS exists. The COVID crisis has been unique and challenging, to say the least, and I am thankful for JFS’s flexibility in continuing to meet the community’s needs in its three major service areas of older adults, mental health and wellness, and safety net services. It has been my pleasure to serve as board chair these past three years. I value the new friendships and relationships I have forged. I look forward to continuing to be involved with this wonderful organization. Thank you for helping JFS do its impactful work for our community.

Fall Fix Up...COVID Edition It wasn’t the weather in 2020 that impacted our Fall Fix Up event...it was COVID. So erring on the side of caution, we sadly had to cancel this much loved community event. But it was all sunshine and smiling faces in 2021 when we were able to move ahead with preparing the homes of older adults served by JFS. We had to make some creative modifications to keep everyone safe—like our drive-thru supply pick-up. Volunteers were able to enjoy a day filled with sunshine, crisp fall air and smiling faces, including those of the homeowners who were so grateful for the help in preparing their homes for winter.
For the sisters, Fall Fix Up is a family affair, a time when their parents, aunts and uncles can come together for a day of fun and helping others. Their bubbe, Renee Unger, has been joining in the fun long before she joined JFS as a board member. What do the girls like most about Fall Fix Up? “I love to see the residents happy after they see what we did for them,” says Jillian. “One year, we got to work for a Holocaust survivor who came outside to thank us.” “I remember one time my cousins and I jumped into the leaf bags,” says Elana, age 11. “It was so much fun. But my favorite part is meeting the people. Helping others makes me feel happy.”
Sisters Jillian and Elana Parel were just two of the over 400 community members who joined in the fun. “We’ve been doing Fall Fix Up for about five years,” says Jillian, age 12. “Our friends invited us to join.” Fall Fix Up is just one way the Parel sisters give back to their community. In addition to volunteering at a local food bank and playing bingo at the Fleischman residences with Temple Shir Shalom, they’ve made and sold bracelets to raise money for Angels of Hope, a Michigan-based children’s cancer foundation. When they’re not busy helping others, Jillian enjoys dancing and traveling. Elana enjoys karate, eating and annoying her sister. Jillian and Elana Parel with their family and friends.

Celebrating 25 years
When Easter Seals approached Jewish Family Service in 1996 with a proposal to work together in providing psychiatric treatment and case management services to Russian-speaking individuals with severe mental illness, no one could have predicted the partnership would last 25 years. Least of all, Rimma Shapiro, who was at the helm of the program that provided outpatient psychiatric treatment, crisis intervention, case management services, family training and community living support to 500 Russian-speaking community members. “These services helped those we serve find stability and build skills necessary for independent living,” Shapiro says. “Under the direction of Easter Seals, JFS was successful in addressing their unique medical, emotional, religious and cultural needs.” “Without Rimma, this program would not have existed,” says Yuliya Gaydayenko, Chief Program Officer, Older Adults Services, at JFS. “She developed and implemented a complex 24/7 crisis support program to meet a critical community need. She was an avid advocate for those we served.”
It was the large number of Russian-speaking community members that necessitated the need for this bilingual program. But as more recently resettled former refugees from the former Soviet Union spoke English, the need has been dwindling and the program is retiring, along with Shapiro. “Those who are interested in services can receive counseling at Easter Seals or through private practice under their insurance,” explains Rimma. “Those who still require case management services will continue to receive it from bilingual JFS staff.” Rimma is excited for all that retirement will bring— traveling, reading and her number one priority, being a grandma to 14-year-old Allie and 4-month-old Kasper. “I’m looking forward to cooing, cuddles, first words and first steps,” she says. “All the wonderful things we get to witness and nurture as grandparents.” It’s impossible for Rimma to look at what the future holds without reflecting on the past. “I will forever treasure the incredible friendships that I have experienced throughout my career at JFS,” she says. “We are part of a unique culture of dedicated individuals who are committed to compassionately serving our clients. As much as I was driven by my commitment to client service and excellence, I know that my success is attributed to the incredible support and collaboration I have received from my JFS colleagues.”
SACRN Raises Funds for Older Adults In October, the Senior and Caregiver Resource Network (SACRN) made JFS the beneficiary of its annual fundraiser. Hundreds of people Zoomed in as medium Lori Lipten provided a healing experience by discussing the soul’s journey through death and the afterlife. JFS staffers Lynn Breuer, Amy Newman and Perry Ohren flank SACRN Chairman Jim Speir of Speir Financial Services as he presents a sizable donation.
JFS is so appreciative of the more than $24,000 raised by our generous community, thanks to SACRN’s efforts. These critical dollars will go to support the JFS’s older adult services.

VOLUNTEER PROFILE
MARCIA GARLAND
Marcia Garland spent 37 years working as a nurse in the cardiology, ICU and physical medicine and rehabilitation departments at Beaumont Hospital. Although she retired in 2017, she’s still doing what she does best—helping others. She started volunteering with JFS in 1999 after decreasing her work hours at the hospital. “I wanted to do something fulfilling with my extra time,” says Marcia. “Knowing that I am helping someone in some way, big or small, is a bonus. It has made my life all the more meaningful.” Through her 20 years as a volunteer, Marcia made life more meaningful for the six older adults she worked with as a friendly visitor, making weekly visits to their homes. “I attended the Bessie Spector Oldest Americans Brunch in 2018 with one of the women I was visiting,” says Marcia. “She was 97-years-old at the time and lived a long distance away from me, so our relationship was via a weekly phone call. The brunch was our first meeting after talking for about six months. We were phone buddies for two more years until she died at age 99.” Since the pandemic, and for the safety of both the friendly visitors and visitees, all visits have transitioned to phone calls. “The clients usually do not get out much, so they like to hear about what I am doing,” she says. “But I try not to talk too much about myself! We might talk about what is going on in their families and current events.” In addition to her visits, Marcia volunteers picking up preordered groceries once a month for one client. She also works with Yad Ezra and the Gary Burnstein Community Health Clinic, which provides free health care and medications to those without health insurance. When she’s not helping others, Marcia enjoys reading, swimming, traveling and spending time with friends and family. She encourages others to consider volunteering as a friendly visitor with JFS.
“It may take a little time to establish a rapport, but persevere,” she says. “The JFS volunteer staff are understanding and open to assisting you. Volunteering is part of my weekly routine. The client relationships have been interesting and rewarding.”
We could use a hand. Are you looking for a meaningful way to give back? Jewish Family Service has multiple opportunities for you to spend your time making a difference in the lives of those we serve. Whether you’re looking to volunteer once or once a week, in-person or virtually, we would love to hear from you.
If you would like to be a volunteer like Marcia, contact Emily Croitori at 248.592.2317 or ecroitori@jfsdetroit.org.

I chose to honor my sister-in-law, Melissa Davidson. She is selfless and kind and the world’s best doctor—always there to answer any medical questions and calm me down throughout very challenging times. I don’t know what I would do without her in my world.”
- Ellyn Davidson “As soon as I became aware of The Joy Project, I knew it was the perfect gift to give to honor and thank the important women in my life. Not only does it allow me to show my appreciation to those I love, I am doing a mitzvah by helping to make someone else’s life a little easier.”
- Paul Silverman
“Every year, I choose to honor my family on Mother's Day with tributes to The Joy Project. They have each thanked me for honoring them with the gift of doing a mitzvah by supporting women and children in our Detroit community on Mother's Day. They much prefer this gift to anything material, and it ties them to the mothers in our community in a special way. I am grateful that The Joy Project exists and that we can join together in the spirit of motherhood to honor and support all deserving women.”

Philanthropy: Never Too Soon to Start
When the pint-sized philanthropists aren’t busy collecting items for those JFS serves, they enjoy playing together, impromptu dance parties and eating as many sweets as they can get their hands on.
JFS is fortunate to have such a generous community. Without the gifts we receive, we would not be able to help the thousands we do each year. And just as donations come in all sizes, so, too, do our donors. Take Milly and Isla Edelson, Edelson for example. The threeand five-year-old sisters have been generous donors to JFS for several years, thanks to mom Stephanie who came up with the idea of tying the donations to the girls’ birthdays. “I was planning Milly’s first birthday party and wanted to include all her friends,” she says. “But I didn’t want everyone to bring a gift and very few people listen when you put ‘no gifts’ on an invitation.” Knowing her friends wouldn’t show up emptyhanded, Stephanie asked them to bring toys and books that would be donated to JFS’s Adopt a Family program. She received such positive feedback that she did the same thing for Isla’s fifth birthday, and since her firstborn was starting kindergarten, Stephanie requested that her friends donate school supplies. “Everyone has loved the idea,” Stephanie says. “My friends’ kids love picking out birthday presents, and this way they still get to do that while also learning about giving back to children in our community who actually need items such as toys, diapers, school supplies and winter gear.” How do Milly and Isla feel about the difference they’re making to those in need? “I don’t know how much Milly understands,” Stephanie says. “But she really enjoyed sorting all the winter gear and putting everything in bins to take to JFS. I tried to explain it to her, but I’m sure it went over her head at this age. Isla definitely understood donating school supplies, as she was getting ready herself for kindergarten.”
Milly and Isla Edelson | Ages: 3 and 5 Donation: Toys, books, school supplies and winter gear Madi Salzenstein, Salzenstein on the other hand, was interested in getting her hands on toothpaste, dish detergent and diapers. A senior in high school at the time, Madi Salzenstein wanted to make a difference for those struggling during the pandemic. She thought collecting toiletries, cleaning supplies and household goods would be helpful. “I previously volunteered with Fall Fix Up,” she says. “I knew that JFS’s mission was to help those in need. So I started asking family and friends for donations so I could buy as many supplies as I could.”

“I learned that socks were one of the most requested items in homeless shelters and it’s an item that people don’t really think to donate,” she says. “I “I posted on my dad’s Facebook and so many thought collecting socks for my bat mitzvah project people reached out, including people I had not seen was a perfect idea.” in a while and my parents’ coworkers who I didn’t Her goal was to collect at least 150 pairs of socks; even know, offering to donate money or drop off in the end, she had 497 pairs and almost $200 in donations,” she says. “I think we had two or three monetary donations, thanks to the generosity of her Meijer shopping carts full of supplies.” community.

Her favorite subject in school is math, and she certainly excelled at having all those socks add up to a sizeable donation. Thanks to the support of family and friends, Madi raised $750 and another $200 in supplies.
“Watching Natalia’s joy as she counted the socks and felt the support of our Jewish and secular community is something she will always remember,” says Kelly.

SUPPORTING OUR STUDENTS
get to be part of the larger team,” Dini says. “The referral process for additional services is smoother. And, of course, by being based directly in schools, they’re in physical proximity to the kids.”
It’s not surprising that the mental health of our community, especially that of our youth, has been suffering during the pandemic.
Last year, JFS school-based social workers provided services to over 1,400 students. Esti Weiss, LLPC, is responsible for the 60 who attend Beis Chaya Mushka Girls High School.
According to a 2021 report from the Surgeon General, recent research covering 80,000 youth globally found depressive and anxiety symptoms doubled during the pandemic. Measures put in place to keep people safe have resulted in reduced in-person interactions with friends and professionals (such as therapists), thereby contributing to this decline in mental health. “The need for counseling has never been greater, given the pandemic and the strain it continues to have on our community,” says Dini Peterson, JFS’s Chief Program Officer, Family and Community Services. “So, we’ve been focusing on reaching out to more youth by increasing the number of social workers we have housed in the Jewish day schools.” Currently, there is JFS staff based at Frankel Jewish Academy, Yeshiva Beth Yehudah, Yeshivas Darchei Torah, Lubavitch Cheder and Beis Chaya Mushka Girls High School. “We’re so fortunate to have received funding that has allowed us to grow our staff of school-based social workers,” Dini says. Funders include the D. Dan and Betty Kahn Foundation, the Zuckerman Klein Family Support Foundation, the Ravitz Foundation, State of Michigan Multicultural Integration Funding, and the Oakland Together Mental Health Grant from Oakland County and United Way for Southeastern Michigan. “As JFS staff members, school social workers benefit from our training and supervision and they
“It’s almost cliché to say, but I saw a real decline in mental health in the girls,” says Esti. “More than 20 of the students live in the dorm and are far from home. COVID has led to inconsistency in their education. Some have experienced anxiety and depression because they’re not able to participate as much through Zoom. We’re seeing that fallout now.” Esti started with JFS as an intern in behavioral health in March 2020. A year later, she began working as a school social worker. “There was no one for the girls to turn to for their mental health,” she says. “There was no mental health education. It was rare for a girl to go to a therapist outside of the school. Issues in school were dormant until I, with the support and guidance of my supervisor, was able to assess and address the needs being presented.” Esti met with each student to assess their home life, school life, social skills and academic performance. She arranged for those in need to receive an evaluation. Student schedules were adjusted to accommodate speech therapy or counseling sessions. The biggest thing Esti sees in her role is the importance of having a human being dedicated to the mental health of the students. “It’s helpful for them to have an adult,” she says. “And that’s what I’m here for.”

Happy Holidays… Despite COVID Although none of us got what we really wanted for the holidays—an end to the COVID pandemic—our generous donors contributed over $45,000, making it possible for 830 individuals served by JFS to enjoy a happy holiday season. It was the second year our community pivoted along with us to provide proper holiday celebrations for those in need, while following COVID safety protocols. We had hoped 2021 would have been different, but we’re looking forward to our conference room once again filling up with gifts so we can celebrate the 2022 holidays as we have in the past: by shopping, wrapping and dropping
off gifts at our office. Still, your generosity was tremendously appreciated by those we serve and thanks to your giving, so many in need were able to enjoy a holiday celebration they might have otherwise gone without. On their behalf, we thank you for making a difference during this continued time of uncertainty. Those we serve need help meeting their basic needs all year long. And we need your help making that happen. Visit jfsdetroit.org to learn more about the many ways you can help make a difference. Or, contact Amy Newman at 248.592.2327 or anewman@jfsdetroit.org.
