I believe the Jewish people should always contribute

to Jewish causes. If we don't, who else will? There are so

many urgent, worthwhile causes. What to do? Support

medical research? Give to my beloved Israel? No one has

unlimited funds--certainly not me. So where to start;
where to give?

Then I saw an ad about AFHU Hebrew University Gift

Annuities supporting The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
I read up on HU. It was everything I care about in
one package.

HU's contributions to Israel and the world are as
wide-ranging as they are impactful.

When you create a secure AFHU Hebrew University Gift
Annuity—with its
high lifetime return, tax deductions and
annuity payments that are substantially tax-free—your

annuity drives Israeli-led innovation toward a better

future.
This way I can afford to give more to all the causes
closest to my heart.

"The relationship between Hillel
of Metro Detroit and Wayne State
University is inspiring, and is a testa-
ment to how collaboration between
two communities can greatly strength-
en both. Hillel is engaged in the criti-
cally important work of building the
future of the Jewish people, and Hillel
of Metro Detroit stands as a clear
example of what that looks like when
done successfully"
According to Starkman, "While
Hillel of Metro Detroit promotes
Jewish student life at six local schools,
the investment that Wayne State has
made in Jewish life on campus merits
special recognition:'
Former WSU Board of Governors
member Eugene Driker will lead
an optional bus tour of WSU and
Midtown Detroit at 3:30 p.m., prior to
