W
hether it was a quick
slice on a lunch break
or a more relaxed sit-
down meal with friends and busi-
ness associates, patrons of the
Jewish Community Center in West
Bloomfield can no longer stop at
Jerusalem Bistro & Cafe, which
closed suddenly Wednesday, Oct. 28,
after operating a business there for
six years.
In a statement emailed to its cli-
ents last week, the JCC said it would
"work to identify a suitable food ser-
vice vendor to fill the space, with the
objective of meeting the needs of all
of our members and constituents:'
It suggested that patrons check the
JCC's Facebook and Twitter pages or
call for additional updates.
"This really came out of the blue
JCC Executive Director James Issner
said. Though Issner added it was
too early to comment as to when the
empty restaurant will be filled, he
said the JCC is looking to replace the
restaurant "with a food service" that
will be kosher.
In 2013, Jerusalem Pizza owners
Brian and Rivka Jacobs refreshed
their business at the JCC with a bis-
tro-like, sit-down setting in addition
to the counter service pizzeria and
sandwich shop. That was renamed
Jerusalem Bistro.
The business also catered many
events — business meetings, lec-
tures, bridal and baby showers and
other private parties — both outside
the JCC and in a room adjacent to
the restaurant. Jerusalem Pizza and
its catering component remain open
in Southfield. Brian Jacobs was con-
tacted, but did not wish to comment
at this time.

Issner would not comment on the
rental costs of the space. He did say
the closure of the restaurant was a
loss for all JCC patrons and others
who would come to the JCC to see a
show or attend the center's cultural
events, such as the book and film
festivals.
"We will look at a number of pro-
posals and business models:' Issner
said.
"We will also survey our clients to
see what they would like to open up
in terms of a new eatery:'
Jerusalem Bistro was the only
kosher dairy restaurant located in
the western part of Detroit's Jewish
community where patrons could
order kosher pizza, salads, sand-
wiches and pastas for birthday par-
ties, youth group events or a harried
weeknight meal.
"Jerusalem Pizza in West
Bloomfield was a mainstay for our
community," said Jenn Guyton
Goldman, 43, of West Bloomfield,
who often ordered pizza there for
her family.
"Not only did we have a place
close by where we could sit down
and have a good meal, but the con-
venience of being able to run in and
grab a pie and some sides on a busy
day was so greatly appreciated. We
understand it was a business deci-
sion, but we will sorely miss having
them out here:' *
