Fall Planting and Cleanup
1. Plant a tree. A single tree will absorb
one ton of carbon dioxide over its
lifetime.
2. Plant leafy trees at the south side of
your home or building. In the summer,
they block the sun and provide shade
and cool your home. In the winter they
lose their leaves and allow the sun to
heat your home.
Jewish Thought on the
Environment:
And God said, "Let the earth put forth
grass, herb yielding seed, and fruit tree —
bearing fruit after its kind, wherein is the
seed thereof, upon the earth. And it was
so."— Genesis 1:11

extensive lay involvement and experi-
ence in the Federation system, could
best help them realize the potential
they have as one of the fastest-grow-
ing Jewish communities in America."
He credited Detroit for the "the
numerous, wonderful, significant
opportunities that I received as part
of the Detroit Federation, the greatest
Federated Jewish community in the
world ... My future successes will
only reflect the beauty and lessons
that I've learned from being part of
this extraordinary Jewish commu-
nity."
Scott Kaufman, Detroit Federation
CEO, called Horowitz "an immensely
capable leader and a passionate
believer in k'lal Yisrael (all of Israel)
and expressed sadness that he and
Barbara, currently campaign chair of
the Federation's Women's Division,
who would likely have been its next
head, would be leaving Detroit.
"On the one hand, I am very happy
to have Michael as a new colleague,"
Kaufman said. "This is a wonder-
ful opportunity for Michael, and we
all wish him continued success. On
the other hand, we are sad to see
Michael and Barbara go as they have
both been exemplary leaders at our
Federation and in our Jewish com-
munity.
"Looking to the future, we are
blessed in Detroit to have a very deep
bench of outstanding volunteers, and
our community will continue to do
what it always has: step forward and
meet whatever challenges and oppor-
tunities lay ahead with passion and
commitment," Kaufman added.
Detroit Residence
The Horowitzes plan to keep a local
residence, and Barbara will continue
her local Federation and other com-
munal involvement while Michael
starts his new role. Horowitz is owner
of Tricap Holdings LLC, a real estate
development and investment firm in
Farmington Hills.
Currently, they both are in Israel
with 60 fellow Detroiters as part
of Federation's King David Society
Mission.
Robert Arogeti, board chair of the
Atlanta Federation, said in a press
release, "After nine months of diligent
search and hundreds of hours of vol-
unteer effort, I am pleased that our
board of trustees has approved the
selection of a tremendously quali-
fied candidate. Michael Horowitz has
the talent, experience and passion to
lead our Jewish community into the
future. His energy level is contagious,
and I look forward to his arrival with
the expectation that he will hit the
ground running and keep us focused
on our goals:'
Atlanta is currently the 11th largest
Jewish community in the nation. A
2006 community demographic study
showed it had approximately 120,000
Jewish persons and had grown more
than 50-percent in the preceding 10
years. ❑
