WE INVITE YOU TO NOMINATE CANDIDATES FOR
THE 2009 ACTIVIST OF THE YEAR AWARD
The Council Activist of the Year Award was created in 2001 and given annually to a volunteer who is passionate about the Detroit Jewish community and works to secure the Jewish future by championing Israel's cause, reaching out to our diverse neighbors or advocating Jewish interests.
ECONOMIC DISTRESS INITIATIVE
As requests for help from Jewish social service agencies increase, the Detroit Jewish community is challenged to do all it can to help those agencies cope with that rising demand. The Jewish Community Relations Council is leading a coordinated effort to increase the flow of federal dollars to our agencies, working in conjunction with the Jewish Federation, its local agencies, United Jewish Communities [UJC] and the Jewish Council for Public Affairs [JCPA], as well as the Michigan Jewish Conference, other Michigan federations, and other Jewish organizations such as HIAS, Hadassah and NCJW.
