Herb Amster on his tenth yahrtzeit
As published in the Washtenaw Jewish News:
Carol Amster says, “We made JFS a place of permanent legacy for my husband Herb of blessed memory.
Everybody who knew Herb knew he loved to take care of people, to make sure everyone was treated with dignity and that he was committed to making the important mission of JFS sustainable.
Fast forward 10 years, The Herb Amster Center created a culture within JFS of extending services to people, organization and corporations who can pay, in order to provide those same services triple-fold to people who cannot. There were a lot of organizations who wanted me to allow them to use his name for their endeavors, but I knew that JFS was very close to heart. And is now a LIVING memorial to him.”

Bridge Between Languages
Foreign Language Interpretation and Translation
Culture plays an important role on how people interact with each other. Language interpreters are crucial in order to conduct a business or service that involves people who may not speak English.
Language interpreters use their language skills in the workplace on a regular basis. They are building the bridge between languages in order to relay the correct information to another person.
Due to the increase of technology, the
communication between people of different cultural backgrounds and languages has been on a steady increase. The intercultural communication sector will continuously be on the rise and the need for interpreters and translators will positively correlate that.
