Adat Shalom's Yost
Marks 20 Years

For many synagogues, the job of exec-
utive director can mean a revolving
door. Not so at Adat Shalom
Synagogue where Alan Yost soon will
mark 20 years in the post.
The anniversary will be celebrated at
7:30 p.m. Saturday,
March 10, during the
synagogue's annual Purim
Party Plus, which is open
to the community. The
evening will feature an
elaborate catered dinner
Alan Yost
plus music and dancing
by the People's Choice.
Yost also has assumed leadership
positions at the Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Detroit, the Jewish
Community Center and other local
Jewish agencies. He also sits on the
Community Foundation of the city of
Farmington Hills.
"Alan Yost is an energetic and
extremely positive force within our con-
gregation and in the community at
large," says Rabbi Daniel Nevins. "He
brings an extra range of skills to the
challenge of running our daily opera-
tions and never loses sight of the role
Adat Shalom plays in the Jewish world."
For details on Purim Party Plus, call
the synagogue office, (248) 851-5100.

MSU Hillel
Eyes New Home

A $3 million facilities and program-
ming capital campaign for Michigan
State University's Hillel facility has
reached the $2.1 million mark.
The current Hillel building is a for-
mer sorority house, built in the 1940s,
said Hillel adviser Cindy Hughey.
Although the total area is 7,000 square
feet, the second floor is essentially
unusable. The kitchen has never been
updated, Hughey said, and, on Friday
nights, the 75-125 students who attend
Shabbat dinner fill the entire dining
room and living room combined.
Plans are complete for a new three-
story, 10,000-square-foot building. It will
be constructed on the site of the current
MSU Hillel facility, at 402 Linden
between Charles and Division streets.
The Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Detroit is overseeing the
campaign. Call Jonathan Lowe, direc-
tor of the Jewish Community
Endowment Fund, at (248) 642-4260.
