JVS To Mark 70th Anniversary;
Honor Barbara Nurenberg's 20th

VS will celebrate its 70th
anniversary and honor
Barbara Nurenberg, JVS
president and CEO, on her 20 years of
leadership at its Annual Meeting begin-
ning with a reception
at 5 p.m. Thursday,
Sept. 15, at Pine Lake
Country Club in
West Bloomfield. The
meeting and special
commemorative
video presentation
starts at 6 p.m.
Barbara
JVS' roots go back
Nurenberg
to 1926, when a
single employee started making calls to
find employment for penniless Jewish
women. The phone calls proved so suc-
cessful that the agency expanded and
was officially named Jewish Vocational
Service in 1941 and became a Jewish
Welfare Federation (now Jewish
Federation) agency in 1942.
A pivotal turning point in the agen-
cy's history occurred when JVS began
serving veterans with war-related inju-
ries as well as traumatized Holocaust
survivors. The agency then branched
out to serve youth, individuals with
disabilities, seniors — and even future
leaders through its summer Jewish
Occupational Intern (JOIN) program.

With the downturn in the economy,
JVS has honed its expertise in assisting
the unemployed through career coun-
seling, an online job databank, training,
online networking, collaborations with
other agencies and more.
Nurenberg has grown JVS from a
vocational agency with an operating
budget of $6.5 million, serving 5,224
people, to a full-service human service
organization with a $20 million budget,
serving nearly 20,000.
"Barbara's commitment to excellence,
intelligent planning and focused efforts
have shape44VS into the award-win-
ning, nationPly known and respected
human service agency it is today:' said
Brian Meer, JVS immediate past board
chair.
Funding for JVS comes from com-
munity partners Federation and United
Way; philanthropic support from cor-
porations and individuals; federal, state
and local contracts for service from
government and private entities; gov-
ernment and foundation grants.
Meer and newly elected JVS board
chair Lee Hurwitz of Huntington
Woods are co-chairing the Sept. 15
event. Tickets are $70. For more infor-
mation, contact Judy Strongman by

eeping kosher is often an
expensive proposition. And
with the High Holidays right
around the corner, the costs can be
downright daunting. So Congregation
Shaarey Zedek and Young Israel of
Oak Park have teamed up to bring in
a money-saving expert — Kansas
City blogger Mara Strom, author of
KosheronaBudget.com .
Strom, a strictly
kosher, self-described
"bit of a freak about
saving money'
spends no more
than about $500 per
month on food and
household products
for her family of
Mara Strom
five. Strom's budget
includes free-range,
grass-fed kosher beef, organic produce
and household staples like detergent,
shampoo and toilet paper.
How does she do it? Strom's strate-
gies include budgeting and tracking
spending, creating a price book, cou-
poning and stockpiling. But, she says,

"even someone who never clips a single
coupon can still save at least 20 percent
at the grocery store with price books,
sale cycles vid menu plans."
Strom wteach a class on her
kosher molk-saving techniques at
Congregation Shaarey Zedek (27375
Bell Road in Southfield) at 7:30 p.m.
on Monday, Sept. 19. The cost is $7 for
Shaarey Zedek and YIOP members and
$10 for nonmembers.
Rebecca Starr, wife of Shaarey Zedek
Rabbi Aaron Starr, who planned the
event together with Lisa Winer of YIOP,
says, "I often hear myself saying, `You
want me to pay how much for that bris-
ket?' I have found Mara Strom's blog
to be a huge help to me as I search for
ways to save money for my friends and
family'
Adds Winer, "I admit I was skeptical
when I started reading Mara's Hog. But
I've tried her methods and I can already
see a difference in my family's spend-
ing. I'm excited to learn even more from
Mara in person"

office at (248) 357-5544. n
