Temple Beth El (Flint)
Growing up, Julie Kushkin Yaker
was taught by her father, Larry
Kushkin (f1), how important it was to
give to the community. "He taught
my sisters and me to be strong, inde-
pendent thinkers, and he showed us
how helping others helped him to be
a more fulfilled person," Julie says.
As a member of the Hebrew Free
Loan Board, Larry often told Julie how
important the agency was. "When he
helped give a loan, he knew he was
giving someone a chance at a new
life. That was his goal."
After her dad passed away, Julie
became active with HFL, then joined
the Board herself. She currently
assists agency leaders as a new gen-
eration of philanthropists is brought
into the fold, helps communicate the
HFL message to a fresh audience on
social networking sites, and collabo-
rates with the Board on issues facing
younger families. Julie credits her
father's energy as her example. 'rThat
has been my driving force," Julie says.
