The Donald R. and Esther
Simon Foundation has
awarded Hillel of Metro
Detroit (HMD) a $40,000
grant to support the 2024-
2025 staffing of on-campus
Rabbi-Educator Michele
Faudem.
The Donald R. and
Esther Simon Foundation
is built upon the legacy and
philanthropy of Donald R.
and Esther Simon and their
children. With recognition
of the family’s original roots
in Michigan, the Simon
Foundation supports projects
that address Jewish life and
identity, cancer research and
support services, the cultural
arts, and social justice issues
that make a positive impact
on the lives of this generation
and the next.
Rabbi Faudem’s presence
at Hillel of Metro Detroit
significantly influences the
students’ experiences by
providing ready access to
Jewish learning, thought-

provoking
programming,
personal
counseling
and the
opportunity
for students
to develop a
meaningful
relationship
with a rabbi.
“We are grateful to the
Simon Foundation for their
generosity. They understand
the importance of having an
involved and dynamic rabbi
on Hillel of Metro Detroit’s
staff to work with students
at such a pivotal moment
in their lives,” said Miriam
Starkman, HMD executive
director.
“Not only has Rabbi
Faudem helped students
as they face increased
antisemitism and anti-Israel
hostility on campus, but she
also inspires them to deepen
their connection to their
Jewish identity.”

A 75-year-old plumber look-
ing for employment with less
demanding physical work and
an 80-year-old employee laid off
after decades with a car company
are just two of the many older
adults who have recently reached
out to Gesher Human Services.
In response, the nonprofit
organization will be holding a
series of three free Retirement
Reemployment workshops this
summer on June 11, July 16 and
Aug. 13 from 2-3:30 p.m. The
programs will be held in person
at Gesher’s headquarters (29699
Southfield Road, Southfield) and
will discuss the financial, social
and emotional considerations of
working as a mature adult; the
pros and cons of returning to
work; and provide attendees with
a career decision action plan.
Registration is at
geshermi.org/events.
“We see increasing numbers
of mature individuals who are
not wanting to hang up on their
working life. They might want
to make a transition with some
aspects of their employment,

but they are people with many
skills who are ready for new
opportunities,
” said Employment
and Internship Specialist Gerard
Baltrusaitis.
In some cases, Metro Detroiters
who retired several years ago, par-
ticularly those whose jobs were
affected by COVID-19, are now
finding that it makes financial
sense to consider working again.
“Some people in their early 60s
were forced to step out of their
work lives during the pandemic
and now they are feeling caught
by inflation and medical costs and
feel that their retirement savings
are a bit behind,
” Baltrusaitis
explained.
However mature workers
might need professional guidance
to make the most appropriate
and successful next steps. “One
drawback they face is ageism.
They might have the ambition,
energy and ability to work, so we
just want to make sure, through
our workshops, that they present
themselves in the best way possi-
ble and consider all their options,
”
Baltrusaitis said.
