Detroit and raising money 
“to help with gathering 
immigrants, resettling the 
land, providing absorption 
facilities and job training 
because Israel was bogged 
down spending so much 
money on defense.” 
She also became active 
raising money on a national 
scale, then traveling to Israel 
to see where the money 
was being spent. “I got very 
involved over there. My heart 
is in Israel … especially help-
ing children at risk … and 
I continue to do that to this 
day,” she says. 
Both the Shermans are 
particularly focused on aid-
ing in the absorption of the 
many Ethiopian Jews who 
began migrating to Israel in 
the late ’
80s and continue to 
do so now. 
“Back in 1997, Larry and I 
took five Ethiopian kids who 
were living in foster homes 
under our wings. Today, we 
consider them part of our 
family and they have all 
become successful, viable cit-
izens,” she says.
Other pet projects include 
the “Fisher Flight,” a national 
yearly program that teaches 
young couples with sig-
nificant financial means 

about Jewish philanthropy; 
and Partnership 2000 (now 
called Partnership2Gether), 
a program that created part-
nerships between diaspora 
communities and regions in 
Israel. Detroit’
s partnership, 
now celebrating 25 years, 
is with the Central Galilee 
region.
Along the way, Jane has 
also been involved with 
causes outside of the Jewish 
community, including being 
a board member of both the 
Detroit Symphony Orchestra 
and the Aspen Music 
Festival in Colorado. She is 
currently active in helping 
to allocate money through 
the local Max M. & Marjorie 
S. Fisher Foundation, 
including to children who 
live in Brightmoor, a strug-
gling area in Detroit that is 
rebounding through an alli-
ance of more than 50 organi-
zations.
Keeping both the 
Shermans’
 lifestyles and 
interests in mind, their 
residence was designed to 
beautifully and graciously 
accommodate small Friday 
night family Sabbath dinners 
as well as larger social and/or 
charitable events. It is indeed 
a house that is a home.
