forecast of rain did not stop
hundreds of Jewish young
adults from participating in
Good Shabbos Detroit (GSD), which was
held at Chabad of Greater Downtown
Detroit. With more than 200 participants
on Friday, Aug. 14, this was the largest
GSD to date and the first one in three
years to be held outside. GSD is held
monthly around town and is a project of
NEXTGen Detroit.
Everyone enjoyed the delicious meal,
prepared by ChabaD's dedicated volun-
teers, around one long U-shaped Shabbat
table under a tent. Participants joined

together in lively singing and listened
to a dvar Torah delivered by Menachem
Mendel Pinson, age 11. His parents,
Rabbi Yisrael and Devorah, opened the
Chabad House in Midtown in December
2013 to foster community and engage
young adults in Jewish experiences.
Special guests included 24 visitors
from Israel in town for the Jewish
Federation's Birthright Mifgash program
with their American counterparts.
Festivities and great conversations
among friends continued late into the
night around a scrumptious ice cream
sundae bar.
