not just covering, Maccabiah
games came up in a conversa-
tion with Zumoff at an event.

After that, the two got on
a call and Kurtz explained the
embedded reporter program
and his grants. Moments later,
a student media program was
born. And Zumoff said he
wanted to chair it.

“The synergy was great,”
Kurtz said.

Between Kurtz’s grant
proposals and Zumoff ’s
fundraising efforts, the duo
raised the $500,000 to cover
Maccabi Media.

Eventually, they hope to
make the program permanent.

“After I’m gone, there will
be an opportunity in perpe-
tuity to experience Israel,
and to get the experience of a
lifetime, which is covering an
international sporting event,”
Zumoff said. l
when he started chairing
one of its golf outings. As he
started attending more events,
he became friendly with Dan
Kurtz, Maccabi USA’s senior
director of strategic initiatives.

And it was from Kurtz
that Zumoff got the idea for
Maccabi Media.

In 2019, Kurtz embedded a
student reporter with the USA
team at the European Maccabi
Games, which occur between
each Maccabiah competition.

The reporter, Logan Schiciano,
from the West Chester, New
York, area, wrote blogs and
recorded short videos about
the U.S. teams.

“He did great,” Kurtz said.

So after that, and earlier
in 2021, Kurtz started writing
grant proposals for building a
larger student media program. jsaffren@jewishexponent.com;

With love and sadness, we acknowledge the
passing of Fran Levin Gloger, 61, of Potom-
ac, Maryland. Fran passed away at John Hop-
kins University Hospital on October 9, 2021
at approximately 4:00 PM, surrounded by her
husband, children, parents, sisters and their
families. When Fran graduated from
Pennsylvania State University with a Bachel-
or of Science degree in Nutrition, her mis-
sion became to help others find and eat
healthy foods. Fran loved people and along
with her exuberant, affectionate spirit, she
was in many ways a healer and a guide from
whom friends and family sought advice. Fran
was born on February 26, 1960 in Phil-
adelphia, PA, the middle daughter of Edward
and Marilyn Levin. While an advocate of good
food choices all her life, she enjoyed wide-
ranging interests and occupations. She
owned a drapery studio, a flower business,
an import-export native-American jewelry
business in Santa Fe, and became a success-
ful real estate entrepreneur. An avid gardener,
she grew much of the organic produce she
ate and served her family and friends in her
large backyard garden. She enjoyed golf, ca-
nasta, yoga, reading, camping, fishing, and
traveling. She is survived by her beloved hus-
band Mark, a gastroenterologist and
someone whose interest in healing people
supported her own, and their children Ben,
Matt, and Jessie, for whom in the words of
her daughter Jessie, Fran orchestrated “every
day like a celebration,” her parents, siblings
Harriet Millan and Cheryl Levin and their chil-
dren and spouses, and Gloger family. Contri-
butions can be made to: @Frannyfarmerfund
on Venmo for Franny’s dream — a
sponsored community garden in DC to be en-
joyed by all.
