Well, a NEXTGen Detroit 
and Kadima board member, 
and co-chair of Federation’s 
Liaison Committee and 
Becker and Marcus Mission, 
Katz is taking a vital role in 
mentoring the next genera-
tion of leaders. She also sits 
on the Federation’s Local 
Area Planning Division and 
has built relationships with 
Jews around the world as 
the JDC Ralph I. Goldman 
fellow. 
The Frank A. Wetsman 
Young Leadership Award 
was established in 1961 as 
a memorial to the beloved 
husband and father and 
recognizes exceptional lead-
ership potential and service 
to the Jewish community by 
a young man. Yoni Torgow, 
this year’s recipient, was 
inspired by his tenure in the 
Wexner Heritage Program, 
an intensive two-year ini-
tiative for Jewish volunteer 
leaders. With the lessons 
he learned, Torgow took 
on many roles, including 
chairing the building of the 
new boys’ and girls’ schools 
of his alma mater, Yeshiva 
Beth Yehudah, and becom-
ing a mentor for Partners 
Detroit. He also serves on 
Federation’s Real Estate & 
Capital Needs Committee 
and the Board of Governors 
and sits on the boards of the 
Detroit Symphony Orchestra 
and JVS+Kadima. As a sports 
enthusiast, Torgow has also 
revitalized the Detroit Jewish 
Youth Sports League. 
The Mark-Lis Family 
Young Leadership Award 
was created in 1993 to rec-
ognize an established leader 
in the NEXTGen Division 
who has shown outstanding 
commitment and success 
within the division and 
within Federation’s Annual 

Campaign. Influenced by 
a teen mission to Israel, 
this year’s recipient, Keith 
Schonberger, took an active 
role within Jewish groups and 
organizations while attending 
Michigan State University. 
Later, he served on the 
board of Tamarack Camps 
before joining NEXTGen 
Detroit’s board. There, he 
co-founded NEXTGen’s 
Interfaith Couple’s Group, 
which promotes inclusivity 
and outreach to interfaith 
couples and their families, 
and co-chaired NEXTGen’s 
Community Campaign. An 
attorney, Schonberger is 
also part of the Federation’s 
Affinities Attorney group. 

MANDELL L. AND 
MADELEINE H. 
BERMAN AWARD 
FOR OUTSTANDING 
PROFESSIONAL SERVICE 
The Bermans, both of 
blessed memory, estab-
lished this award in 1988 
to acknowledge communal 
professionals and share their 
accomplishments with the 
Detroit Jewish community. 
Amy Neistein, director of 
Women’s Philanthropy at 
the Jewish Federation, is this 
year’s recipient. Neistein has 
spent her career in Jewish 
communal service, and since 
coming to Federation in 
1996, has made a significant 
impact. Her work has taken 
her from the Neighborhood 
Project to Israel and 
Overseas and now Women’s 
Philanthropy, where she 
leads the department’s yearly 
effort to raise $6 million for 
the Annual Campaign. As a 
builder of community and 
relationships from Detroit to 
Israel, Neistein embodies the 
essence of a truly outstanding 
Jewish professional.
