SAMMI 
SHAPIRO
Sammi 
Shapiro is 
the assis-
tant direc-
tor of edu-
cation and 
youth 
engagement at Adat Shalom 
Synagogue. She loves work-
ing and getting to know all 
the families and kids at the 
synagogue and within the 
community. At Adat Shalom, 
Sammi teaches, plans educa-
tional programs, mentors 
kids and teens, and much 
more. Her background is in 
education; being able to con-
tinue working in this field 
and affecting so many fami-
lies is very important to her. 
Sammi is also the assistant 
director of Sib4Sib, a local 
nonprofit that helps youths 
who have a sibling strug-
gling with mental health. 
She helps connect families 
into the right support group 
and continues to advise the 
nonprofit. Sammi is one of 
the lead partners in Youth 
United, a local interfaith vol-
unteer organization for teens 
from synagogues, churches, 
mosques or non-religious 
organizations. The goal of 
the group is to connect the 
teens in our community 
through shared beliefs and 
support of the local organi-
zation CARES of Farmington 
Hills. 
She said she really loves 
the spirit of Detroit. “Just 
being out and about in the 
city, meeting new people 
and trying new restaurants 
makes me feel connected to 
this great city we live in,” she 
said. She also loves to knit 
and bake.

ZACHARY 
SANDLER 
WISH
Zachary 
Sandler 
Wish is 
owner 
of Wish 
Inc. and Mason Equities 
LLC, parent company to 
many businesses, but most 
notably Midwest Linen & 
Uniform Service and Wish 
Premium. He joined the fam-
ily business, started by his 
great-grandfather more than 
130 years ago, in 2001. 
The business, the third 
oldest active company in 
Detroit, is now one of the 
largest independently owned 
laundries in the country. In 
2016, Zachary acquired the 
business and used his social 
media/internet expertise 
to keep it competitive in a 
market dominated by large 
national corporate entities.
In early 2019, Zachary 
founded Wish Premium, a 
rapidly growing cannabis 
brand. His goal is to make 
the benefits of medical mar-
ijuana understood and more 
accessible to and work to 
remove the “stigma” of can-
nabis. He has already assisted 
several Jewish community 
members who are or were in 
hospice and seeking help. He 
plans to open dispensaries 
across Michigan starting in 
February. 
Zach established the 
Wish Children’
s Foundation 
endowment in 2019. He 
pledges to donate $50,000 
annually for grants to deserv-
ing high school students 
for college or trade schools. 
Wish Premium will also host 
an annual toy and a quar-
terly food drive for Pontiac
