A

s Detroit emerges from the
darkness of bankruptcy into
the light of regrowth, this
year's fourth annual "Menorah in the
D" celebration — starting at 5:30 p.m.
Tuesday, Dec. 16, at Campus Martius
— holds particular significance.
Organizers of the Chanukah event
see it not only as a celebration of the
victory of the Maccabees, but a victory
as well for the people of Detroit.
Menorah in the D is hosted annu-
ally by The Shul of West Bloomfield,
Chabad in the D and in partner-
ship with the Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Detroit's NextGEN
Detroit division, with support from
Quicken Loans and other sponsors.
This year, Mayor Mike Duggan will
participate in the lighting ceremony
along with other government officials.
Everything about the event is pure
Detroit, including the 26-foot meno-
rah designed and built by artists
Erik and Israel Nordin of the Detroit
Design Center in Corktown and com-
plimentary snacks provided by local
businesses.
For international flare, the celebra-
tion also features a live performance
by the Israeli band SoulFarm. There
will also be strolling jugglers and acro-
bats, roasting marshmallows and an
opportunity to pose with the Paws, the
mascot for the Detroit Tigers.
Event organizers are recruiting
"MacaDees" to volunteer for the event.
They are needed to direct foot traffic,

help with children's arts and crafts or
serve complimentary hot cider from
Blake's Orchard & Cider Mill, soup
from Chef Cari Kosher Catering and
other goodies from Bake Station and
Whole Foods. Volunteer by signing up
at www.menorahinthed.com .
Sarah Snider, community outreach
associate for NextGEN Detroit, said
that when she was growing up here she
could never picture a time when such
a celebration could happen Downtown.
Volunteer teams are being set up
from throughout the community,
including groups from Tamarack
Camps, Frankel Jewish Academy and
the Camp Ramah Fellows.
"I never had friends or family who
lived in Detroit:' said Snider, recalling
how her grandparents moved from
Detroit to the suburbs. Now she knows
quite a few friends in their 20s who
are living in the city. "Now, I am so
excited to see the changes happening
Downtown:'
Darien Sherman of Bloomfield Hills,
a Ramah fellow, is looking forward to
an evening celebrating with the entire
Detroit Jewish community.
"It shows we can take the mes-
sage of Chanukah, of rebuilding and
rededicating, to rebuilding a city that
so many of us are attached to and is
a part of our lives in so many ways;'
Sherman said. "We are not only
commemorating the victory of the
Macabees, but also for all of Detroit's
Jewish community to be strong and
united:'
Sherman added that following
