family is not here right now,” 
he continues, “and I might 
not necessarily have a place to 
spend the Jewish holidays.”
Many members help make 
Hirsch feel “like a family 
member,” he says. “I’m 
creating real relationships with 
people, especially my Jewish 
members.”

FINDING A HUB
Hirsch was also recently 
connected with Royal Oak 
Moishe House through a 
friend. He’s been an active 
participant there since moving 
to Detroit last year.
“It’s a great source of 
community for me,” he says. 
“I’m from Chicago and I went 
to school in Ohio, so I don’t 
have as much of a base of 
people here as I did at home.”
Going to Moishe House 
events, Hirsch says, has 

helped him build relationships 
outside of work and discover 
a Jewish group of young 
adults to hang out with 
(and is something he highly 
recommends for young Jewish 
individuals new to the Detroit 
area).
Outside of work and events, 
Hirsch loves to travel and 
recently took an impromptu 
trip to Washington, D.C., to 
visit his sister who lives there. 
His parents have also recently 
visited him in Detroit and 
together they explored Eastern 
Market and Ann Arbor.
“When I moved here was 
the first time I’d ever been to 
Detroit,” Hirsch says, “but I’d 
heard so many great things 
about the city. I wish I’d seen it 
earlier.”
