DAVID L. BITTKER
"David Bittker represented the highest attributes of a leader in American Jewish Life. He was generous,
concerned, involved and sensitive to the changing needs of our community. For B'nai B'rith and for all of
the organizations he served and for the Detroit Jewish Community, his loss will be immense."

"His mentoring has made a difference for so many, his vision has been a source of encouragement for everyone,
and his efforts have added significantly to the well-being of our Jewish community"
- Stephen B. Zorn, Brnai B'rith Great Lakes Region President
"His presence will always be felt in the goodness that Jewish young people bring into the world."
- Matt Grossman, Executive Director, B'nai B'rith Youth Organization
"I will miss his wise counsel, his knowledge of the community and the people in it, the respect he showed
to others, and his ability to work with everyone. His devotion to BBY0 went beyond awards."
- Arnold J. Weiner, Executive Director - Michigan Region B'nai B'rith Youth Organization
"Jewish life on campus, especially at Michigan State University Hillel, has been forever enriched because
of David Bittker's vision and dedication. We pray that the legacy of our partner, our teacher, our friend,
and our builder of stronger Jewish tomorrows forever endures as a blessing."
- Jeffrey Himelhoch, President - Cindy Hughey, Executive Director
