we come across someone
new who’s Jewish and
hasn’t found that sweet
spot of how they want
to be engaged [with the
community], we try to make
ourselves available to them.”
For Rosenberg and Bluth,
who were hosting Shabbat
dinners and other Jewish
events long before becoming
Moishe Pod Detroit
residents, the pod was an
excellent way to continue
their mission with the
support of the larger Jewish
community. It also helps
them share the beauty of
greater Downtown Detroit
and benefits of living in the
city.
While there isn’t a long-
term plan for Moishe Pod
Detroit just yet, Rosenberg
and Bluth say they’re taking
the experience day-by-
day and are excited about
its possibilities. Over the
next few weeks, they plan
a lunch-and-learn, sports
and snack morning, and a
brunch and volunteer event.
There are more events to
come in the summer.
“We’re intentional about
our events showing Detroit
as a place to live and not
just to work or go to Tigers
games,” Bluth says.
“Let’s build friendships
and let’s build a community
— hopefully, that’s inspiring
enough for people to stick
around.”

O
n Sunday, May 1,
NEXTWork hosted
a professional
workshop event with
ZingTrain.
The event, titled “Creating
a Personal Vision of
Greatness with ZingTrain,”
was a professional
development program from
Zingerman’s, which is well
known for its food.
During the workshop, a
group of 30 people were able
to have brunch, network and
learn about how visioning
has been an important part
of Zingerman’s success and
how to use these powerful
tools to fuel their own
personal and professional
successes.
NEXTWork Co-Chair
Roman Golshteyn says
he was blown away with
the impactful information
he learned during the
workshop. “The tools that
were shared with us were
easy to apply and implement
in various areas of my life.
It was a phenomenal event,”
he said.
The NEXTWork
community was founded in
2013, and is a collaborative
initiative between JVS
Human Services and Jewish
Federation’s NEXTGen
Detroit.
The goal of NEXTWork
is to provide young
Jewish professionals with
meaningful resources,
expertise and networking
opportunities to help build

Fund.
