As national chairman, Joel Tauber is likely to get his ear tugged hundreds of times by critics and com- plainers. He is waiting. "After saving Jewish lives, there's nothing that comes close to Jewish education," he said. "What we needed 50 years ago is not what we need today." The key, he said, is keep- ing the dollars coming in after Operation Exodus ends. Bringing Soviet Jews to Israel was a community priority; soon, he said, it will be time to spend some of that money on American Jews. "You're not only fund-rais- ing, you're trying to raise Jews," he said. But Joel Tauber is not go- ing to rock the boat. He thinks Jews receive by giv- ing to the community and that tzedakah, or Jewish charity, still counts. "We've got to be more than ourselves and our families," he said. "Life is about touching others, helping others." For Mr. Tauber, that theory extends not only to his thinking about the Jew- ish community, but about the way he runs his life and his business. In 1985, he en- gineered a leveraged buy-out of the former Key Interna- tional Manufacturing Inc. As part of the buy-out, he created three separate divi- sions —plastics, fasteners and steel reprocessing and had upper managers buy into the companies. While Mr. Tauber retains an inter- est in the company, his co- owners, who are also man- agers, keep costs down and profits up. The Janurary 1991 issue of Inc. named him Master En- trepreneur runner-up in their Entrepreneur of the Year award. "His approach has won him the loyalty of a cadre of talented managers, whom he credits with the impressive growth of his company," wrote Inc. A friend, Detroit lawyer David Page, said Mr. Tauber wins the confidence of col- leagues in business and philanthropy with a direct, convincing style. "You feel that he is so knowledgeable," he said. "But fundamentally, you know he cares." Throw in a virtually bot- tomlesS source of energy — he travels, on average, three days a week — and you have someone who has won the hearts of local and national Jewish leaders. Tauber has a virtually endless supply of energy, juggling the needs of family, business and community. "He made it in life by working hard," said Marvin Lender, the outgoing UJA national chairman. "He cares a lot about the Jewish people and he cares a lot about Israel. But most im- p ort ant , he has good values." "He does things with a style that does not create chaos around him," said lifelong friend David Hermelin. "It's a great leadership feature." Former UJA national chairman Marty Stein said Mr. Tauber is suited for the job, which he said demands a wellspring of energy and devotion. "You really are the repre- sentative for the organiza- tion. You develop the character of UJA for a two- year period," he said. "Joel's a very issue- oriented guy. I think he'll be a great chairman." ❑ LOCAL NEWS r-i YAD Hears Richard Lobenthal Lobenthal, Richard Michigan director of the Anti- Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, will discuss "Political Extremism: Is It the Corning Shift in American Politics?" at the third program of the Jewish Federation Young Adult Division Political Awareness Series, 7:30 p.m. March 26 at Adat Shalom Synagogue.
