all the things happening now — it's
like night and day, compared to
when we first came here.

On Federation
Q: What got you involved with
Federation?
Rich: Our friends! To be hon-
est, we didn't know a lot about
Federation. But over the years, we
have come to know lot of people
in the Jewish community through
our children's friends at school, our
synagogue and through work. Our
first introduction to Federation was
when our friends, the Sobols and
the Biedermans, invited us to par-
ticipate in a Federation's Israel and
Overseas Couples Group. It was a
great experience.
One activity has led to another,
and now we're making plans with
Renee Horowitz to co-chair the next
Maimonides Mission in the fall.
This will be my first trip to Israel.
Esther has been to Israel twice, first
on a high school trip and then with
her brother on a backpacking trip.
We're rookies, really.
Esther: As part of the Jewish
Federation programs, we have
become more aware of the revi-
talization occurring in Detroit.
We have planted our roots in this
region and have optimism that
Detroit's future is bright. We want
to support the growth that has
occurred. We want our children to
feel a connection and have reason
to want to be here once they are
adults. We appreciate what this
community has to offer and hope
that others outside of the region,
and people who are from here, real-
ize what a gem of a community we
have.
Q: What do you tell people con-
sidering moving back to Detroit or
moving here for the first time?
Rich: Actually, we get the ques-
tion in reverse — with people ask-
ing us all the time when we're going
to move back to Colorado. I tell
them to come out here and check
out our city and move here.
Sure, the mountains are great;
skiing in Colorado is great — but
the community here is fantastic.

Nothing defines the best of Michigan's summer like sun bathing,
a nice dip, great food, and wonderful people all in a single
relaxing environment at Tam-O-Shanter Country Club
