The Jewish
Federation of
Metropolitan Detroit
will give Douglas
Bloom the Fred
M. Butzel Award
for distinguished
community service
Douglas Bloom
at its 2018 Annual
Meeting 7:30 p.m.
on Thursday, Sept. 13, at the Berman
Center for the Performing Arts in West
Bloomfield. The award is Federation’s
highest honor for volunteer leadership.
Bloom has served in a variety of
roles within the community including
president of the Jewish Federation,
president of the Jewish Community
Center, chair of the American Jewish
Committee, chair of Federation’s
Annual Campaign, and — his favor-
ite role — chair of the Planning and
Allocations Steering Committee.
In addition, Bloom has served on
the boards of Jewish Senior Life, JVS,
Temple Kol Ami, the Jewish Fund,
United Jewish Foundation and vari-
ous committees throughout the com-
munity.
“In every role, Doug brought with
him a sense of kol yisroel, the idea
that all these organizations are part
of one community and their link to
one another enables them to do more
together than any could do on its own,”
says Howard Neistein, chief officer of
strategic partnership for Federation.
Federation CEO Scott Kaufman
adds: “Doug is a true community
champion who has always command-
ed the deep respect and admiration
of the people around him. We are all
so grateful for all he has done and so
happy to see him receive this much-
deserved award.”
Douglas and his wife, Barbara, are
the benefactors of the Barbara and
Douglas Bloom Matzah Factory held
each year at the JCC. Hundreds of
local Jewish children learn how to
make matzah the exacting, traditional
18-minute way every Passover. They
also sponsor the Barbara and Douglas
Bloom Acts of Loving Kindness Fund,
which helps seniors with financial
difficulties remain in Fleischman
Residence.
Barbara and Douglas have three chil-
dren and several grandchildren. They
reside in Birmingham.
