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.
