The new car will be used for the JFS Escorted Transportation Department, providing affordable transportation services to 1,100 individuals annually. The new car will provide more than 2,500 more rides each year to an additional 160 individuals. "Winning a Toyota is amazing for JFS," says Perry Ohren, JFS chief program officer. "We had budgeted to buy a new vehicle and now, in these tough times, we can use those dollars on other core needs" Sponsored by Toyota, the 100 Cars for Good program allowed the public to vote for just one nonprofit each day for 100 days. Competing on Father's Day this year against five other nonprofits, JFS mar- shaled votes through Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites by spreading the word to the Detroit Jewish community. JFS also sent out email blasts to its constituents and had support from the Jewish Federation and its network of partner agencies.

Lubavitch Yeshivah To Break Ground Groundbreaking for the Harry and Wanda Zekelman campus of the Lubavitch Yeshivah and Mesivta will take place at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, July 17, at 15151 W. 10 Mile Road, Oak Park. The nearly 4-acre campus will provide spacious facilities for 180 students to learn and live in a Jewish atmosphere. The two buildings to be constructed will total 50,000 square feet. The educational build- ing will feature large study halls, class- rooms, dining halls, multipurpose rooms and lounges built to optimize the learning experience. The dormitory will give the students a comfortable living space where they can live and unwind after a day of study. The site will include outdoor areas for the students to participate in sports and recreational programs. The new campus is expected to employ about 50 part-time and full-time teachers and staff. Since 1965, the Lubavitch Yeshivah and Mesivta has been providing education for high school and junior college male stu- dents. Currently there are students from 17 states and 10 countries. The school is a project of Lubavitch Cheder-Oholei Yosef Yitzchak and Yeshivas Menachem Mendel Lubavitch. The late Harry and Wanda Zekelman were the parents of local philanthropists and community leaders Alan and Lori Zekelman. The elder Zekelmans were known for their dedication to Jewish education.
