Beth El To Honor Longtime Volunteer A highlight of Temple Beth El's Brotherhood Installation Dinner and Shabbat service, June 8, will be the presen- tation of the Robert J. Rosenbush Award to Marc Zupmore. The award, first given in 1976, is presented to one who most personifies the values held by the late Bob Rosenbush — those of study, worship and acts of loving-kind- ness. Marc Zupmore Zupmore's many acts of kindness are per- formed without fanfare and often behind the scenes. He is the driving force behind the DTE Energy/Gleaners garden project, which produces tons of fresh produce annually to feed the hungry. He also leads groups to volunteer at Gleaners Food Bank of Southeast Michigan in Detroit, and he devotes time to the Michigan Roundtable for Diversity and Inclusion. At Temple Beth El, he has worked throughout the years promoting and par- ticipating in the Brotherhood blood drives and, with other Brotherhood volunteers, planting trees and shrubs to enhance the grounds. He also is a cook for Brotherhood Sunday breakfasts, providing the fresh fruit enjoyed by participants. He is a past Brotherhood president and currently serves as its recording secretary.
