ZALMAN’S TREASURES
Brian Zifkin, executive
vice president of Zalman’s
Treasures, a jewelry store
and repair shop in Berkley,
said it was painful to close
its doors weeks before last
Passover, usually one of their
busiest times. Even once
they reopened, people were
still nervous to come in at
first.
Zifkin said, “We’ve always
been very health conscious,
but we’ve stepped that up,
too. Now we even disinfect
the entire watch battery
changing station in between
battery changes, which takes
a lot of time.”
Zifkin always gives dona-
tions, gift cards and jewelry
to “pretty much every orga-
nization that calls for dona-
tions,” including schools
and synagogues. The store
also offers free watch battery
changes and minor jewelry
repairs for all first respond-
ers, and when COVID
arrived, it added teachers to
that list.
“I consider teachers front-
line workers, too,” Zifkin
said. “The community takes
care of us; we take care of
them. Especially those amaz-
ing frontline workers who
are literally putting their
lives on the line to protect
and serve and educate. It is
my honor to give back to
them in this small way.”
In a beautiful display of
generosity coming full circle,
Zifkin said that many of the
first responders and teachers
still insist on paying because
they know how small busi-
nesses have been hurt in the
pandemic, are happy to sup-
port local and want to give
back themselves.
