THE FRANK A. WETSMAN
YOUNG LEADERSHIP
AWARD:
ANDREW SHERMAN
In 1961, Lillian Wetsman
and her son, William M.
Wetsman, established
the Frank A. Wetsman
Award as a memorial to
their beloved husband and
father. The award annually
recognizes a young man who
demonstrates exceptional
leadership potential, as well
as interest in and service
to Federation, its partner
agencies and Federation’s

Annual Campaign.

For Andrew Sherman,
stepping up to advance the
well-being of the Jewish
people is a foundational
family value. The grandson
of community leader Jane
Sherman and great-grandson
of Max M. Fisher, David
grew up steeped in Jewish
tradition and commitment.
Following college, he
immersed himself in
Federation’s NEXTGen
Detroit division, serving
as co-chair of the Detroit
division of the national
Young Leadership Cabinet
and chair of the EPIC event.
In addition to his
Federation initiatives,
Andrew is a board member
at University of Michigan
Hillel and a trustee of the
Max M. and Marjorie S.
Fisher Foundation — the
first fourth-generation
member of his family to join.
A local real estate
professional and lifelong
sports enthusiast, Andrew
and his wife, Allie, have four
children.



MANDELL AND
MADELEINE
BERMAN AWARD
FOR OUTSTANDING
PROFESSIONAL SERVICE:


JONATHAN LOWE
Madge and Bill Berman,
both of blessed memory,
established this award
in 1988 in an effort
to acknowledge our
professional partners
and share their many
accomplishments with the
Detroit Jewish community.
Over the years, recipients
of the Berman Award
have been individuals who
demonstrate a passion
for Jewish traditions, a
deep commitment to the
community and boundless
energy for their chosen
work. Most of all, they have
made a deep impact on the

organization and community
they serve.
As director of Planned
Giving for the Jewish
Federation of Detroit,
Jonathan Lowe has spent 30
years building a career out of
caring. His efforts have led to
the establishment of essential
programs across many
organizations, including
Tamarack Camps, The J, the
Hillels on Campus and JSL,
directly benefiting thousands
of individuals and families.
One of his most notable
achievements is the
establishment of the Brown
Center for Adult Day Care
Services. Today and for many
years to come, it will remain
a testament to Jonathan’s
ability to marshal both
people and resources toward
a common good.
Jonathan is a valued friend
and mentor to his many
colleagues, a loving husband
to his wife, Beth, and a
caring father to his sons.
