will sponsor its sixth annual Chicken Soup
Cook-Off from noon-1:30 p.m. Sunday, Jan.

Stop by to sample many chicken soups
and vote for the People’s Choice Award.

porary soups. Entries come from restau-
rants, individuals and families. Even Shir
Shalom preschoolers will serve their own

The cook-off is the brainchild of Rabbi
Daniel Schwartz, who says the event is not
only fun, but also raises money for such
organizations as I Am My Bother’s Keeper
Ministries: Detroit Homeless Shelter, Team
Alex and Make-A-Wish, and Shir Shalom’s
young adult group and religious school
scholarships. Last year, more than 500
people attended and $4,566 was raised.
Cost is $5 for adults and $3 for children
ages 5-12, with children 4 and under free
— or an entire family for $15.
For details and advance tickets, contact
Terri Cooper, Rebecca Bershad or Rabbi
Schwartz at (248) 737-8700 or email
cookoff@shirshalom.org.
