ewish Family Services of
Washtenaw County (www.jfsan-
narbor.org) presented Dr. Barry
Nemon and Barbara Stark-Nemon with
its 2011 Claire and Isadore Bernstein
Leadership Award on Jan. 23. The award
was presented at the agency's "Celebrating
Harmony" event in Ann Arbor.
"We chose this theme of celebrating
harmony because the services that JFS
provides to the individuals and families
in our community [programs for older
adults, employment services, resettlement
and emergency assistance] fulfill essential
needs in the community and are intended
to create harmony — that is, to create
a sense of balance and peace for people
who are facing discord in their lives',' says
Phyllis Herzig, JFS board president.
"Another reason for the theme is more
literal — our honorees, Barb and Barry
— highlight the importance of tikkun
olam [repairing the world] and demon-
strate how much difference each one of
us can make by doing whatever we can
to repair the world. They are excellent
examples of how we can live our lives har-
moniously by giving to others."
Barry Nemon and Barbara Stark-
Nemon are first-generation Americans;
three of their parents escaped Nazi
Germany rule in Europe. Barry grew
up in Detroit and has been director of
Emergency Services at Chelsea Hospital
for 25 years. He has volunteered as a doc-
tor at Tamarack Camps in Ortonville,
where many generations of Nemon family
members have been campers and staff

members.
Barbara Stark-Nemon also grew up
in Detroit and worked for 33 years as an
English teacher, speech-language therapist
and university instructor before retiring in
2006 to begin a promising second career
writing fiction. She has guided the JFS
strategic planning process since 2001. She
currently serves as vice president for com-
munity relations and development.
University of Michigan Musical Society
president and past Bernstein Award recip-
ient Ken Fischer was emcee.
"At Barbara and Barry's request, pro-
ceeds from the event will support the
JFS Emergency Aid Fund," says Anya
Abramzon, executive director. "The fund
supports the critical work JFS does serv-
ing thousands of individuals facing life
challenges in our community, including
job loss, medical expenses, food and shel-
ter issues and more. It was established by
2008 Bernstein Leadership Award recipi-
ents, Rachel Bendit and Mark Bernstein
and has been an invaluable resource for
the community these past few years."
