Drew Allen Edelstein (Ezer Yehuda) will
become a bar mitzvah at Congregation Beth
Ahm in West Bloomfield on Monday, Sept. 5,
2022. Participating in the ceremony will be
his parents, Eric and Tracey Edelstein. Proud
grandparents are Marsha and Larry
Proghovnick of West Bloomfield, and Toma Edelstein of
Commerce Township. Drew is also the grandson of the
late Cheryl Edelstein.
Drew is a student at Clifford Smart Middle School in
Commerce Township. For his mitzvah project, he raised
more than $1,600 for the Walled Lake Consolidated
School District’s pet therapy program by walking dogs
and dogsitting.

Jewish Family Service of
Metropolitan Detroit is
proud to have received
a $50,000 renewal grant
that will go toward serving
Holocaust survivors across
Michigan in partnership
with Jewish Family Services
of Washtenaw County and
Flint Jewish Federation. This
donation comes as a result
of the partnership among
the USC Shoah Foundation,
UJA-Federation of New York
and the Jewish Federations of
North America.
As many survivors are over
age 90 and require home
care assistance to maintain
their daily living activities,
these dollars will go toward
helping them with such tasks
as cooking, cleaning, grocery
shopping, medication coordi-
nation and more. Emergency
financial assistance will be
provided for durable medical
equipment such as grab bars
and shower seats in order to

help them safely age in place.
Care management services
will also be provided to help
Holocaust survivors navigate
food assistance and food
delivery, access benefits,
and utilize transportation
services.
In addition to providing
home care, emergency finan-
cial assistance and care man-
agement services, this gener-
ous gift will help JFS address
the issue of social isolation
within this vulnerable popu-
lation.
“We’ll provide virtual
social and educational pro-
gramming such as memory
activities, workshops on
nutrition and holiday cel-
ebrations in addition to
critical assistance addressing
basic needs,” says Yuliya
Gaydayenko, chief program
officer, Older Adult Services.
“We are so appreciative for
the support that allows us to
do so.”
