Each year for the past several years, Yeshiva Beth Yehudah in Southfield, Michigan holds a fund raising dinner. This isn't just 'a' dinner. It's the largest yeshiva fund raising event of its kind in the country. 2200+ people gather to hear speech's by important political figures and to honor someone from the community. I have been honored to be the lead photographer for this event for the past 6 years or so.
This years honored guest was Daniel Loepp, the CEO of Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Michigan. The speaker was Evan Bayh (D) Senator of Indiana. Sen Bayh delivered an impassioned speech on the safety and security of Israel to rousing standing ovation. I am proud to be part of this event. I photograph several non-profit fund raising events each year. This one is the one that others look up to as the standard.
