A

nyone meeting Jacob

Feldman will be charmed
by his polite ways, old-
fashioned demeanor, well-groomed
appearance (he likes wearing suits and
ties), twinkle in his eyes, irrepressible
sense of humor and unending supply
of rhyming jokes.
Feldman, 70, retired at the end
of November after about 25 years
working as the daytime shomer (reli-
gious watchman praying over the
deceased) at the Ira Kaufman Chapel
in Southfield. That job was a match
made in heaven for Feldman, an
Orthodox Jew who valued the oppor-
tunity to serve the community in this
role. Visitors to the chapel appreciated
his warm smile, caring manner and
decorum.
Feldman has been served by JARC
in Farmington Hills since 1979. He
lives in JARC's Harry and Sarah Laker
Home in West Bloomfield with five
other men, assisted by professional
staff. JARC is dedicated to enabling
people with disabilities to live full,
dignified lives in the community and
to providing support and advocacy for
their families.

Carrie Thomason, Laker Home
assistant manager, said, "Jacob is
thoughtful of others and their feel-
ings. He is very debonair, outgoing
and friendly, a happy person. He loved
working and going out into the com-
munity. Being Jewish is very impor-
tant to him. He attends synagogue
weekly and enjoys teaching things to
the non-Jewish staff."
David Techner of the Ira Kaufman
Chapel said, "You couldn't have found
a more perfect job for Jacob. He
couldn't wait to come to work each
day. He was so proud of what he did,
was the perfect employee and always
a pleasure. He also was a wonderful
symbol of our mission and JARC's."
Techner first met Feldman while
serving on the JARC board. He attend-
ed a JARC Shabbat dinner where
Feldman officiated over the Jewish
rituals. As a youngster, Feldman was
taught prayers and Yiddish by his
parents, with his Jewish education
reinforced by his years at Yeshiva
Beth Yehudah in Southfield. Feldman
so impressed Techner that, when a
vacancy occurred at the Kaufman
Chapel for a shomer, he was invited to
interview for the job.
