FALLING IN LOVE
They began dating again in
summer 2017.
“We came to the realization
then that being close friends
wasn’
t adequate. We loved each
other,
” Milstein said.
The two were living together
by the following summer, and
Schulman proposed to Milstein
on May 3 on a beach on Long
Island after having several
elaborate plans to pop the ques-
tion scrapped because of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
“I was clueless that Judah was
going to propose to me that
day. He totally surprised me,
”
Milstein said.
Longtime Detroit JCC
Maccabi delegation head Karen
Gordon learned about the
engaged couple from the JCC
Association of North America
this summer and put together
a box of memorabilia from the
2008 Maccabi Games that even-
tually will get to the newlyweds.
The box is filled with a blue
duffel bag, smaller white bag,
copy of the opening ceremo-
ny video, pins and a poster
designed by famed Brazilian
artist Romero Britto.

Gordon said she’
s aware
of other couples that met at
Maccabi Games hosted by
Detroit and later got married,
but Schulman and Milstein are
probably the first couple that
came from different visiting
delegations.
Besides meeting her future
husband at the 2008 Maccabi
Games, Milstein became
close with her host family, the
Sandbergs.
“I remain in touch with my
‘
host sisters,
’
Erinn and Lauren.
I visited Erinn at the University
of Michigan a few years after
the [2008] Maccabi Games,
”
Milstein said. “I’
ll never forget
the Sandbergs’
graciousness
and the way I felt like I became
part of their family.
”
Schulman and Millstein live
in the Greenwich Village sec-
tion of New York City and are
busy with their careers.
Schulman is a senior vice
president at CAIS, a financial
services and fintech compa-
ny. He covers the Midwest
for CAIS and is frequently in
Bloomfield Hills.
Milstein is a second-year
MBA student at Columbia
Business School. She’
s also an
intern at the MetaProp ven-
ture capital firm that focuses
on the real estate technology
industry.

first-round playoff games.
There was a shocker in the
playoff semifinals. Kosher
Ribs beat SHAEF 5-4. The
Jeters beat Marble Rye 16-10
in the other semifinal game,
setting up their title game
against Kosher Ribs.
“We knew Kosher Ribs
was coming off a huge win
[over SHAEF] and they were
a good team, but we were
confident we could beat
them in the championship
game,” Uzansky said. “We’
d
split with them during the
regular season, losing when

we only had eight players.”
