Through the Audrey and William Farber Family Foundation, the couple has made a direct, positive impact on the lives of thousands throughout southeast Michigan. Audrey Farber is a longtime supporter of local Jewish and philanthropic causes, including educational and elder care entities. William Farber is the Chairman Emeritus of Lannett Company, a manufacturer and distributor of high quality and affordable generic medications. He is considered a pioneer in the generic pharmaceutical industry. The Farbers are very passionate in their ongoing efforts to promote a strong Jewish education and thriving Jewish community. Understanding the Need for Affordable Jewish Education The cost of an early childhood education can be staggering. To help young families with busy schedules who often find it challenging to afford a quality early childhood Jewish education for their children, Audrey and William Farber have established a $10 million endowment to the Susan & Rabbi Harold Loss Early Childhood Center (ECC) at Temple Israel. Each year, the endowment will provide liberal scholarships for Temple members. This is an incredible opportunity to help young families manage the cost of early childhood education and is only available at Temple Israel. Temple Israel membership and a child's involvement in the ECC will lead to a lifetime of Jewish engagement. Not only will children develop lifelong friendships and memories at the ECC, their families will build relationships, become an integral part of the Temple and region's Jewish community and grow in their Jewish identity. These scholarships will offer tremendous opportunities for young children and their families for generations to come. "The Farbers share our mission and vision to provide the foundation of an exemplary Jewish education in a safe and nurturing environment," said Rabbi Harold Loss. "They understand the importance of making metro Detroit the ideal place for young Jewish families to live and work. We are extremely grateful to the Farbers for this gift, which will not only benefit Temple members but will help enrich and grow our Jewish community. As Temple members, we are very fortunate to have this available to us."
