ast year, Rabbi Arnie Sleutelberg went to the Michigan
State Fair. Like so many others, Rabbi Arnie followed his
nose to the cooking contests, a popular feature of state
fairs across the nation.
There were entries for practically every category — best pie,
best pickle, best jam ... you name it.
The competition gave him an idea. Why not do the same thing
at the new home of the 10-year-old Congregation Shir Tikvah in
Troy? Better yet, why not make the competition part of a bigger
Jewish food extravaganza that could also be a fund-raiser for the
shul?
Thus, the First Annual Michigan Jewish Food Fair was con-
ceived.
