Mike Smith Detroit Jewish News Foundation Archivist Y The original deli is still in Ann Arbor on Detroit Street, but Zingerman’s is now a major enterprise. In 2016, the company includes a creamery, bake house, coffee company, candy shop, restaurants, a farm, catering services, ZingTrain customer- service training and a huge mail-order business. But, Zingerman’s still follows its original mission: to make the best food possible, whether a grilled cheese sand- wich or a loaf of rye bread. And, to do so, Zingerman’s reaches around the world seeking unique ingredients. But back to the Zingerman’s partners An energetic professional business builder on his own, Jon Dwoskin became a volunteer mentor to loan recipients of Hebrew Free Loan’s Marvin I. Danto Small Business Loan Program even before he joined HFL’s Adjunct Committee. “I was intrigued from the start,” Jon said. “The minute I heard about HFL, I wanted to be part of it. HFL echoes my belief system: not just lending money without interest, which is important, but Jews helping Jews, guiding someone onto a smoother path. That’s why it was founded.” Jon takes his role as a mentor to HFL business loan recipients just as seriously as he would with a paying client. “They do all the hard work, but I’m good at visualizing where their business is going and aligning their acts with their values. I advise them as if I have a vested interest in their success, which I do. Everyone does. When Jewish businesses thrive, we all thrive.” Whether he’s acting as advisor to someone with a business loan, or interviewing loan applicants for other purposes, Jon’s heart is in it. “It’s fulfilling to be here for others. People may not be aware of every- thing HFL does, or how it works, but that’s probably because they don’t need us just yet. No one knows when something might come up. In the meantime, HFL continues on, generations after its founding, guided by dynamic, hands-on Board members who want to help others and pay it forward. Whether it’s for business or education or a family in need, they’re here.” Click. Call.

Noting that Ann Arbor lacked a good Jewish deli, in 1982, Ari Weinzweig and Paul Saginaw opened Zingerman’s. They began serving a lot of good old-fashioned Jewish dishes such as knishes, blintzes, chicken soup, chopped liver and kugel, as well as sandwiches and other foods. I found this interesting piece about the early history of Zingerman’s in the July 1, 1988, issue of the JN. My Story meeting. While I am extremely impressed with the ideas, the innovations and the commitment to success, I must also admit that one of the best parts of the meeting was the tasty Zingerman’s lunch! Oh, and just so you know — there is no one named Zingerman behind Zingerman’s. * Want to learn more? Go to the DJN Foundation archives, available for free at www.djnfoundation.org.
