Coffee Talk

Uniting Against Cancer

Howard Schultz, chairman and chief
global strategist of Starbucks Coffee, will
speak at the Jewish Federation of
Washtenaw County's fourth annual
Main Event at 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 29,
at the Ypsilanti Marriott at Eagle Crest.
In addition to his business success,
Schultz maintains an active Jewish life
and identity. Among his many honors is
the Jerusalem Fund of Aish HaTorah for
individuals making significant contribu-
tions to improving the lives of people
around the world. And, in 1997,
Schultz created the Starbucks
Foundation to raise awareness for litera-
cy causes and to give grants to organiza-
tions that promote literacy.
Raised in Brooklyn and educated at
Northern Michigan University in
Marquette, Schultz is credited with ele-
vating Starbucks from roasting and sell-
ing coffee beans to becoming a chain of
more than 8,000 coffee shops world-
wide. He continues to provide strategic
direction, serve as the vision and voice
of the Starbucks brand and identify new
business alliances and development ini-
tiatives.
The Main Event, which annually
draws more than 600 people, is chaired
by David Eduardo and Monica
Schteingart and Morley Witus and

Local Conservative and
Reform clergy have teamed
up to lead a first-ever spiri-
tual Shabbat retreat for Jews
whose lives have been
touched by cancer.
The Dec. 10-11 event,
facilitated by Rabbis Joseph
Krakoff of Congregation
Shaarey Zedek and Joshua
Berkun
Bennett of Temple Israel,
will utilize Shabbat prayer,
study and spiritual healing

Ann Karmanos Cancer
Institute, the retreat is an
outgrowth of social worker
Patricia Milner Sachs and
therapist Brenda Beron's 6-
Smolash
year-old spiritual cancer
support group, N'siah: A
Journey.
The retreat will be held at Shaarey
Zedek in Southfield, utilizing the

Do You Remember?

November 1974

"In order to secure our future as Conservative
Jews, we have to reclaim our Jewishness with
vigor. We need not abandon secularism, but we
must take charge of it."
— Rabbi Perry Raphael Rank, in his commentary
"Will There Be Conservative Judaism 20 Years From
Now," fall issue of United Synagogue Review.

Paul and Joseph Deutch celebrated the 50th
anniversary of one of Detroit's oldest drug stores
— Paul's Cut Rate Drugs.
The store has been on Broadway and East
Grand River since 1943. Controversy arose when
they refused to sell their building to the J.L.
Hudson Co. for a parking structure, and a wreck-
ing company accidentally broke through a wall of
their store.
