charge.”
Besides doing tasks 
like visiting classes and 
supervising recess, Eli 
got to make decisions 
during his one-day stints 
as principal. Among his 
decisions were no math 
classes (even though he said 
math is his favorite subject), 
extra recess and pajama day.
Eli said skiing helps him in 
school “because in both, you 
have to think a lot.”
If skiing isn’t his future 
occupation, Eli said, he’d like to 
be a comedian “because a lot of 
fields aren’t very much fun.” Or 
he’d like to be actor.
Sol was the team chiropractor 
for the Detroit Lions from 2002-

2015, and he’s been the team 
chiropractor for the Detroit 
Tigers since 2016.
He’s also the president and 
CEO of the Disc Institute, 
Nerve and Disc Institute, and 
HealthQuest Management.
Sol and Eli live in Bloomfield 
Hills and attend Temple Israel in 
West Bloomfield.
