metro » April 28 • 2016 33 FERNDALE RABBI IS HONOREE On April 19, the Citizens for a Fair Ferndale presented an award for Best Citizen to Rabbi Herschel Finman, co- director with his wife, Chana, of Jewish Ferndale, for his work in the Jewish com- munity. Finman, a rabbi in Michigan for close to 30 years, has been involved with Ferndale since Chanukah 2015. At the presentation, Finman mentioned that the day marked the Lubavticher Rebbe's 114th birthday and his call for an increase in acts of goodness and kindness to help pave the way for Mashiach's com- ing. Finman also stressed the importance of keeping the Seven Noahide Laws. * Rabbi Herschel Finman and Ferndale council member Dan Martin The Friends of the March of the Living will embark on its annual adult trip, May 3-15, visiting sites in Poland and Lithuania that are connected with Jewish history and the Holocaust before traveling to Israel. This year's march will be accompanied by Cantor David Propis of Congregation Shaarey Zedek in Southfield. He is the son of survivors and has experience lead- ing groups on educational and musical tours of eastern Europe. In Poland, the March will visit sites of Jewish historical importance in Gdansk, Warsaw, Krakow, Lublin and Lodz and the death camps of Stutthoff, Auschwitz- Birkenau and Majdanek. Propis' mother survived Stutthoff. In Lithuania, participants will visit sites of Jewish interest in Vilna and on Yom HaShoah will march with more than 12,000 teens and other adults from Auschwitz to Birkenau to commemorate the death march imposed by the Nazis during the Holocaust.

Instead of attending a black-tie fundraiser while paying a baby- sitter, the Burnstein Clinic is offering its supporters an alternative — stay at home and make an online donation that directs all the money raised toward operating this facility. The clinic provides free healthcare to Michigan residents who need it most. Working with Crowdrise, the clinic designed a campaign to make a signifi- cant impact without asking too much from its supporters' busy schedules. "Every single dollar we raise goes directly to the clinic," said board presi- dent Ian Burnstein. For example, a $20 donation pays for one month of supplies for a patient with a chronic condition; $50 secures a full course of antibiotics for five adult patients; $100 pays a year's worth of medication for two high-risk patients. The non-event is "scheduled" for May 12, and the campaign has already begun.
