decided to stay in Detroit and bought a
house in the New Center area. He found
investors and put together a team to
renovate it. Now, the house is used for
other Venture for America fellows to

rental system is and co-founded his
company to better utilize technology in
the home rental industry. He now has
more than 40 people working at his
company.
Noah Ostheimer,
11, of Clarkston is
a sixth-grader at
Sashabaw Middle
School who start-
ed a nonprofit at
age 9 called Angels
and Dreamers
(with the help of
Temple Beth El’s Rabbi Daniel Syme) to
help young Jewish children who wanted
to do mitzvahs in the community.
Because of him, a child who wanted to
feed the hungry teamed up with a local
Jewish chef to bake muffins for Mitzvah
Meals at Temple Beth El. Another child
wanted to read to sick children in the
hospital, and he and Rabbi Syme found
a local Jewish pediatrician who helped
her make it happen. Noah is an inspira-
tion to other children and he is working
to do “small things with great love.”
Noah has put tikkun olam into action.
Just wait and see what he does when he
is all grown up.
