Metropolitan Detroit and 
on the boards of Jewish 
Senior Life and Hillel 
of Metro Detroit. Joni 
Satovsky dedicates her time 
to volunteering with Jewish 
Family Service as a mentor 
to Holocaust survivors. 
Brian Satovsky went from 
being a longtime lay leader 
at Federation to becoming 
a full-time fundraiser at 
Federation. 
They all emphasize 
the importance of Jewish 
education and engagement 
within the community.
The meaningful visit 
allowed the family to 
witness firsthand the 
importance of supporting 
Israel’s courageous soldiers 
— in this case, providing 
them with a space to 
rest, rejuvenate and build 
camaraderie in extreme 
conditions.
“Here I was, standing 
with my family in the 
Jewish State of Israel, 
finally a reality. All I could 

think of was how proud 
I was of these youngsters 
[soldiers], younger than 
my children, and the 
generations before who 
were so brave,” Neil 
Satovsky said. 
“I could see that 
this leisure corner was 
something special to them, 
seeing that a family from 
the United States so far 
away cared enough about 
them to provide some 
comfort and respite.”
Paula Lebowitz, director 
of FIDF’s Michigan 
Chapter, added, “We are 
grateful to the Satovsky 
family for sharing in FIDF’s 
mission of supporting 
Israel’s defenders who work 
around the clock to ensure 
Israel’s safety and very 
existence. 
“Their generous donation 
will ensure that soldiers of 
the 188th Barak Brigade 
base will feel appreciated 
and rejuvenated.”
