Join famous chefs in event to benefit
Friendship Circle.
O
n Monday, Sept. 19, Chefs
Reva Constantine (Great
Lakes Culinary Center), Derik
Watson (Bistro 82) and Sarah Welch
(Republic Tavern) will compete in an
exciting culinary bat-
tle that will test their
cooking creativity and
skills.
Like the television
show MasterChef,
these chefs will be
presented with an
assortment of ingre-
Michelle
dients and quick-fire
Bommarito
challenges. Michelle
Bommarito, a local
accomplished chef and TV/radio person-
ality, will emcee. All proceeds benefit the
Friendship Circle, which provides pro-
grams and services to individuals with
special needs.
The event starts at 7 p.m. at the
Friendship Circle’s Soul Center and Soul
Cafe, an art gallery and restaurant in
West Bloomfield staffed by young adults
with special needs. Tickets are $75.
In addition to the competition, guests
will enjoy desserts, interactive cooking
demonstrations, question-and-answer
sessions with the guest chefs as well as a
silent auction.
Those making a donation of $200
or more will serve as sous chefs and
assist the chefs during the competition.
Audience members will also bid on the
opportunity to taste the dishes and select
the winner.
The event is hosted by Jennifer Lovy,
parent of a 10-year-old with autism who
has been participating in Friendship
Circle programs since age 2. The Lovy
family has raised approximately $50,000
for the organization out of gratitude for
the support and services it provides to
local families living with a child with
special needs.
Space is limited. Register online at
friendshipcircle.org/masterchef. Event
sponsors are Event Bliss, Miller Canfield
and Masserman Photography.
NOMINATE A YOUNG
PERSON MAKING AN
IMPACT FOR THIS
SPECIAL HONOR.
impacts, partnering with the JN was
clearly a logical choice.”
According to Horwitz, 36 Under 36 is
seeking to honor unsung heroes in the
community: the 10-year-old who has
started her own nonprofit, the young
adult who has assumed the helm of
a family business and taken it to new
heights, or the social entrepreneur who
is making both profit and impact.
“In short,” Horwitz said, “the people
who give of themselves to
the community in robust
— and often thankless —
ways. In essence, the kinds
of people we admire and
aspire to be, whose accom-
plishments we want to cel-
ebrate and who we want the
world to know make their
home in Metro Detroit.”
Nominations are due
by Sept. 15. A group of
nine volunteer judges (none of whom is
affiliated with The Well or the JN) will be
reviewing submissions and deciding on
the 36. Winners will be announced in the
paper mid-November and recognized
at a community celebration planned for
mid-December.
To nominate someone, log on to www.

the nomination form.
T
he Well, Metro Detroit’s inclusive
Jewish community-building,
education and spirituality out-
reach initiative, and the Jewish News
are partnering on a project,
“36 Under 36,” to recognize
young leaders, humanitar-
ians, educators, social activ-
ists and entrepreneurs who
are reshaping and broaden-
ing the Jewish community.
Honorees will be featured
in the Jewish News and later
this year at a community
celebration hosted by the JN
and The Well.
Rabbi Dan Horwitz (son of JN pub-
lisher and executive editor Arthur
Horwitz) of The Well brought the idea
to the JN. “It should come as no surprise
that the JN is close to my heart,” he said.
“It’s where many of us turn each week
to celebrate, to mourn, to reminisce, and
to feel pride in the unique and beautiful
tapestry that is the Metro Detroit Jewish
community. As we seek to highlight
incredible young folks having outsized
