Dear Family and Friends,

We invite you to join us at the 2024 Young Israel of Southfield Annual Dinner, where we will be honored with the Community Leadership Award. The event will take place on Tuesday, June 4th, at 6:30 PM at the Pearls Event Center in Southfield.

Young Israel of Southfield has been our community and home for the past 22 years. It is here that we started our family and raised our four beautiful daughters. We are grateful for Young Israel of Southfield’s warm, welcoming and thriving community, which hosts a multitude of youth programs and offers an active Sisterhood and Men’s Club. Creative weekly and holiday programming throughout the year enriches our community.  At Young Israel of Southfield, there is a place for everyone. 

Giving back to the community is one of our core values, which we strive to demonstrate and instill in our children. Rivka has helped with countless sisterhood efforts. Brian's recent three-year Shul presidency was instrumental in guiding us through the challenging period of Covid, ensuring our growth and stability.  While investing countless hours managing Jerusalem Pizza, we have made the deliberate choice to prioritize our community by offering sponsorship for meals, trays and events.

As the largest fundraiser of the year, the annual dinner plays a crucial role in sustaining daily operations and numerous programs at Young Israel of Southfield. We are honored to be recognized as this year’s honorees, and we invite you to join us in supporting our community.

We look forward to seeing you on June 4th. If you are unable to attend, please consider supporting us by placing an ad in the journal and/or making a donation. Your contribution is vital and greatly appreciated.

May Hashem grant all of us the strength and ability to continue supporting this wonderful community for many years to come!

Rivka & Brian Jacobs
