An experienced management and consulting expert, Maarten de Jeu is the founder and managing partner of SVM Business Advisory, where he advises on mergers and acquisitions, in addition to providing international strategy and analytics. A Chicago resident, Maarten de Jeu also supports Temple Sholom’s efforts to help the less fortunate through its Monday Meal program.
One of the city’s oldest synagogues, Temple Sholom was established in 1867. Dedicated to the Reform movement, the temple takes a dynamic, modern approach to Judaism, with a number of lectures and programs designed for those from disadvantaged backgrounds and people looking for new forms of worship within the Jewish faith. In addition to regular Friday night and Saturday morning services, Temple Sholom participates in several social action programs, including the Monday Meal, which has served more than 50 guests every week for almost 10 years.
Similarly, Feed the Hungry distributes sandwiches and other healthy foods on alternate Sundays throughout the year. During the holidays, the temple partners with the Jewish social services organization Maot Chitim of Greater Chicago for Box Mitzvahs, to deliver boxes of nonperishable food to families in the city and its surrounding area. Periodically, Temple Sholom prepares and distributes food to the youth and adults via its Night Ministry Bus. Recently, the temple began an Environmental Movie Night program, where a film is shown with a related speaker and a call to action as part of tikkun olam, the healing of the world.
