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.”
Here are the Jeters players, 
listed with their summer
