The Holocaust Memorial Center in Farmington Hills hosted 
the third annual Kappy Family Anne Frank Art and Writing 
Competition. The competition is open to all seventh through 
12 grade students in Oakland, Wayne and Macomb coun-
ties. This year’
s theme was the power of change. One of the 
winners was David Honig, a junior at Walled Lake Northern 
High School. 

Max Morganroth 
recently received 
a 36 (perfect 
score) on the ACT. 
He is a senior at 
Seaholm High 
School and very 
active in the Jewish community. 
The Birmingham Public Schools 
honored him at a board meet-
ing. He is the son of Andrea and 
Erik Morganroth.

Walled Lake 
Northern senior 
Delia Bechmann 
recently won a 
14-weeklong open 
mic competition at 
the New Hudson 
Inn. She won $1,000 for her per-
formance. She sang an original 
song, a mashup and seven cover 
songs, including Kenny Wayne 
Shepherd’
s “Blue on Black” and 
Johnny Cash’
s “Ring of Fire.” 

The Cohn-Haddow Center for Judaic Studies 
at Wayne State University announced that 
Shoshana Applebaum (Farber Hebrew Day 
School) and Lauren Schostak (Berkley High 
School) are the winners of the 2018-2019 Jewish 
Writing Competition, in which students submit 
essays or poetry on any Jewish related topic. 
Applebaum’
s poem, “Being a Jew in America,” 
explores the pervasive anti-Semitism and 
anti-Zionism in self-proclaimed safe spaces, including schools, social media 
and LGBTQ+ pride parades, leading her to question whether these spaces, 
including America itself, are safe for Jews to live openly as Jews in America. 
Schostak’
s essay, “
A Once Blinded Jewish Woman,” explores her encounter 
with the tension within the Women’
s March between feminism and Zionism 
and poignantly describes her refusal to compromise between her identity as 
a Jew and as a woman. Each will receive a cash prize of $500 for first place 
from the center and will have their essays published in the anthology series 
“Voices,” which features writings authored exclusively by high school stu-
dents.
