In advance of Passover, Metro
Detroiters will have the opportunity to
mingle and admire more than 20 exotic
Passover tablescapes innovated by local
interior designers, home decor business
owners and activists.
The community is invited to take a
firsthand look at more than 20 creative-
ly inspired and Passover-themed tables
on Thursday, Feb. 4, from 6-8:30 p.m., at
Temple Beth El in Bloomfield Township.
The event will benefit Temple Beth El's
Religious School programming.
Guests will enjoy cocktails and
small plates catered by Excellence Too
Catering while viewing the unique
tablescapes before the Passover holiday
commences in late March. Would-be
hosts can glean innovative table-set-
ting strategies from more than 30 table
designers from Birmingham, Bloomfield
Hills, Franklin and West Bloomfield.
Each table will also incorporate the
traditional symbols of Passover.
"This event is not necessarily just
about using your most beautiful linens
and finest china:' said co-chair Elyse
Foltyn. "It's about incorporating those
beautiful pieces into a tablescape that
reflects your own special sentiment or
makes a bold statement. It will provide
guests a venue to gather table-setting
ideas to apply to their own dining
room tables — and not necessarily
just for Passover."
A special twist is that many of the
tables feature the combined talents
of teams —mother/daughters, aunts/
nieces, multi-generational friends, sis-
ter-in-laws and even children — each
of whom has found an added way to
extend their family feeling or tradition
into their design and holiday.
Table designers include Jolie Schiller
Altman, ArtLoft owner and designer,
Rachael A-Woods, Karen Borenstein,
Meredith Colburn, Carrie Doelle,
Lillian Erdeljan, Amy Farbman, Nadine
Farbman, Adrienne Fink, Gerych
