ight of our community’s
most distinguished older
adult “difference makers” will
be honored with Jewish Detroit’s
most prestigious award for “Tikkun
Olam – Repairing the World” at the
Jewish Senior Life of Metropolitan
Detroit Eight Over Eighty celebra-
tion on Sunday, April 29. The event
begins at 11:30 a.m. at Adat Shalom
Synagogue in Farmington Hills.
This year marks the silver anni-
versary of this community-wide
event that celebrates eight extraor-
dinary individuals, all at least 80
years of age, and their contributions
toward making the world a better
place.
In addition to celebrating the 2018
class of honorees, the event will
bring together past honorees in a
distinguished reunion of community

and civic leaders. Proceeds from
Eight Over Eighty fund Quality of
Life Programming, including fund-
ing for the meal program for more
than 400 low-income Jewish Senior
Life residents. People of all faiths
and beliefs are welcome in JSL com-
munities.
“This is our community’s premiere
event honoring older adults, and
we are thrilled to welcome a highly
distinguished class of honorees this
year,” said Nancy Heinrich, CEO of
Jewish Senior Life. “Each represents
a different corner of our community
and each honoree has made a differ-
ence in improving our community
and our world.”
Each of the honorees is paired
with a high school student from
Frankel Jewish Academy who will
present the honoree to the commu-
nity for acknowledgment. This inter-
generational element to the program
brings an even deeper warmth and
meaning to the festivities.
Tickets to the event are $80 and
may be purchased by mail, phone or
online. For more information, con-
tact Beth Tryon at (248) 592-5026 or
btryon@jslmi.org.
The presenting sponsors are
Colburn Insurance Group and the
family of Barbara Goodman, Ph.D.
