Todd Sachse with the Boneh Kehillah Builder of Community Award

Sunday | April 26 | 2026


Dear Friends,   Welcome, and thank you for joining The J Detroit for this special evening of shared purpose. We are deeply honored to gather as a community to celebrate leadership, connection, and the enduring strength of Jewish life. It is with profound appreciation that we honor Todd Sachse as the recipient of the Boneh Kehillah (Builder of Community) Award. Todd’s leadership, generosity, and enduring dedication has had a meaningful and lasting impact on The J and the greater Jewish community. He exemplifies the very essence of a builder of community, strengthening relationships and helping ensure a vibrant and inclusive Jewish future. We are proud to recognize his contributions and deeply grateful for the many ways he continues to inspire connection and communal responsibility. We also extend our sincere appreciation to Douglas Murray and Van Jones for joining us and for their thoughtful engagement and steadfast dedication to supporting the Jewish people. Their presence and perspectives enrich this evening and reinforce our shared commitment to Jewish Life. We are grateful to the sponsors, supporters, and partners whose generosity sustains our work and allows The J to remain a welcoming home for connection, learning, well-being, and Jewish living. We would be remiss if we did not extend our deepest gratitude to Elizabeth Rose, whose generosity made this evening possible, and to our chairs, Andi Wolfe and Adam Bleznak, whose guidance and critical support were instrumental to the success of the event. Lastly, we extend our sincere thanks to our leadership and staff, whose dedication ensures that The J continues to thrive as a vibrant, multigenerational center of community. Proceeds from this event support the programs, services, and experiences that enable The J to nurture belonging and meaningful engagement for individuals and families throughout our community. Your support ensures that Jewish life continues to flourish today and for generations to come. Thank you for being part of this meaningful evening and for your continued commitment to The J and the Jewish community we proudly serve.

In 2021, Jones was the first recipient of Jeff Bezos’ Courage & Civility Award. He has since founded Dream Machine Innovation Lab and launched RAPPORT.co, which uses A.I. to increase firms’ EQ. A Yale Law School graduate, Van is a CNN host, an Emmy Award-winning producer, a 3X New York Times best-selling author and the creator of the VanJones Substack.

The Schostak Family


The Zekelman Holocaust Center proudly honors

Todd Sachse on receiving the

Boneh Kehillah Builder of Community Award Your leadership and commitment build our community and inspire us to stand against hatred and antisemitism.

Werkstattwagen Nr. [mobile workship car No.] 4050 942 0784-3 was used by the Nazis during the Holocaust to transport Jews and other prisoners to the killing centers. Sometimes more than 100 people were stuffed inside without food, water or sanitation. These “passengers” were ticketed by the SS, who paid the Reichsbahn [railroad] for the transportation - receiving a credit because the fare was one way.


Congratulations Todd! Such a well-deserved honor and recognition for your efforts.

All our love, David and Susie Sillman


Todd, Mazel tov to you and your family for putting in the hard work and dedication that makes this honor so well deserved!
