Rabbi Starr will lead the panel with Senator Jeremy Moss and Gilda Z. Jacob 

on the topic of: The Challenges Facing Jewish Politicians in Michigan.


Jeremy Moss holds the distinction of having been the youngest-ever elected official on the Southfield City Council. After City Council, he was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives, serving as the Democratic Caucus Whip, and then became the Assistant Democratic Leader in his first term in the Michigan Senate. He currently serves as President Pro Tempore of the Michigan Senate. Senator Moss is also the only Jewish state-senator in Michigan and has used his position to combat antisemitism and be a voice for the Jewish community.


Gilda Z. Jacobs recently retired as president & CEO of the Michigan League for Public Policy, following a 30-year career in public service at the local, county and state levels. Gilda has won numerous awards for her work and was inducted into the Michigan Women’s Hall of Fame in 2019. She was named as one of the 100 Most Influential Women in Michigan by Crain’s Detroit Business in 2016. In addition to her civic leadership, Jacobs served as Co-director of Development for JARC.

Gilda currently serves on the board of Promote the Vote, The Jewish Fund, the Michigan Health Endowment Board, and Forgotten Harvest.


This event will take place under the Willam Saulson Pavilion and a catered lunch will be served. Registration required.
