OBITUARIES
OF BLESSED MEMORY

Bob Naftaly

Bob’s deep passion for the Jewish community, and 

particularly the work of The Jewish Fund, and the impact 

he had upon it, is immeasurable. Bob remained a constant 

champion of The Jewish Fund’s mission of addressing the 

pressing health needs of those within the Jewish community 

and greater Detroit. Bob’s leadership 

and sage advice will be sorely missed 

by the entire Board. May his memory 

continue to be a blessing and a source 

of inspiration for all of us.

The Jewish Fund Honors the 
memory of past Board Chair,
