corned. I love being actively involved in Judaism and the Jewish communi- ty. /3 The president-elect added, "I want- ed a chance to make NFTY as amaz- ing an experience for others as I have had. It has been some of the most important years of my life." NFTY represents 15 affiliated reform synagogues in southeast Michigan, Jackson, Grand Rapids and Muskegon. The duties for the seven members of the regional board include writing programs for each region's kallot and organizing and supervising interchap- ter events. Kander's goals as president include making the board more accessible. "I want to make sure everyone is getting what is wanted out of NFTY and that promises are carried through. I also want to make sure that all networks in local boards work closely to utilize the previous experiences to shape what they need for their youth groups." Lisa Kander, Jake's mother, said, "We know how much work is involved in his new position. He has been very involved all along with youth activities. He is very responsible and very involved in Judaism. He will have a great year." Kander was a member of Temple Beth El in Flint, where. he celebrated his bar mitzvah and confirmation. For the past year, his family has belonged to Congregation Shir Tikvah in Troy. He remains active in both congrega- tions. At Shir Tikvah, he is a tutor for fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders through the family education pro- gram. He works one-on-one with students in reading and learning prayers. Naomi Choinard, interim coordi- nator of family education at Shir Tikvah, said Jake is a natural leader. She called him "very hard working and dedicated." Rabbi Arnie Sleutelberg called Kander "a pillar of the Shir Tikvah community. I am pleased he has come forward to. volunteer his well-devel- oped leadership skills for youths in our state." At the Ivriah of Flint, Kander is a Hebrew teaching assistant and song leader. He also is song leader for the Troy Area Temple Youth (TATY) at Shir Tikvah and for NFTY/Michigan Region. Ken Kander said his son "has been playing guitar for three-four years.
