Community leader

er',i0114 intern

A summer internship in 1974 set in motion a life committed
to Jewish communal service for Roz Komisar Blanck.
Following her junior year at the University of Michigan, she
learned about the Jewish community and gained on-the-job
experience through the Jeanette & Oscar Cook Jewish
Occupational Intern (JOIN) Program. She saw the tremen-
dous difference Jewish lay leaders can make and has been
hooked ever since. Our community is stronger thanks to
Roz and the hundreds of other former JOIN interns. Their
success shows Jewish values at work.
