to help organize community resources
already available. For example, if you
need help setting up a sukkah, or if
you need a kosher chef for your party,
they will be able to refer you to those
who provide these special services.
Also, artists working at Esther's will
customize items like chairs, keepahs
and tzedakah boxes.
Goutkovitch and Mendelson met in
1987 when Goutkovitch, who grew
up in Zikhron Yaacov, Israel, moved to
Michigan after serving in the Israeli
Army for 10 years. At the time,
Mendelson, originally from

Washington, D.C., was selling corn-
puter equipment and soon asked
Goutkovitch to join his company.
The men's interest in Judaic prod-
ucts started soon after their friendship,
when they began collecting and selling
books written and published in Israel.
The books were to be sold here as a
tool to help Israel. Their interest in
Israeli products has continued and has
become an emphasis in their new
store. "We do what we can — they
need help in Israel. They need jobs.
Everything we can get from,Israel we
will and we do," says Mendelson.
