is time for the Woodward Dream Cruise (the official date is
Saturday, Aug. 18), but lawn chairs are already lining the avenue
and car lovers from miles around are gathering to gaze at the
passing parade of pure power.
Go to woodwarddreamcruise.com , and you'll see a countdown clock
to the big event in days, hours, minutes and seconds.
When the world's largest one-day automotive event started in 1995, it
was supposed to be a small fundraiser to build a soccer field in Ferndale
— except that 250,000 people showed up.
Flash forward 27 years: The Woodward Dream Cruise draws an esti-
mated 1.5 million people and 40,000 classic cars from around the world.
And more than a few Jews.

ing programs in a basement and then an uninhabited
residential house would have to admit their future
home is a bit unusual.
Currently meeting in a modified residence in Oak Park,
Ahavas Olam Weingarden Torah Center is planning a move to
a new location — in a retail strip mall.
The 7-year-old Orthodox congregation is set to purchase
and renovate space in one of the buildings in the New Orleans
Mall on 10 Mile Road just west of Greenfield in Southfield.
