trying to spread the word and help get
others to Israel on our summer mis-

community; we have lots of needs:'

"My first and foremost charitable
work is to Federation. They offer a
unique system, an umbrella system,
where we take care of all parts of our
community."
For two years, he has attended

to Detroit from

wait for people to come visit me:' he
said. "I had to go out and hustle on
the streets to make a living?'
He started an ad specialty business

stopped hustling.
About a year ago he merged his
business with The Print House, a
