When memory fades due to dementia,
traditions and rituals celebrated
in the past still resonate.

National Council of Jewish Women, Greater Detroit Section (NCJW/
Greater Detroit) held its fourth annual Back 2 School Store (B2SS), a one-
day annual event to help Detroit students in need have the right tools for a
successful school year.
The pop-up store is designed to look like a department store, where
each child “shops” with a volunteer personal shopper for new clothing.
The child also selects a new backpack to fill with school supplies, a book
and personal care items. The items are given to the children at no cost.
Event Co-Chairs Sharyn J. Gallatin, Lauren Koenigsberg and Sallyjo
Levine say the event raised approximately $70,000. More than 350 trained
community volunteers brought smiles to nearly 500 elementary school-age
children pre-selected by nine social service agencies.
This year’s major sponsors included the DeRoy Testamentary
Foundation, Marjorie & Maxwell Jospey Foundation, Mandell and
Madeleine Berman Foundation and The Village Club Foundation.
The Interfaith Health Fair, organized by the Jewish Community Relations
Council/AJC, provided on-site access to potentially life-saving medical
screenings and health care referrals for parents and guardians while their
children shopped. •
