friend, without thinking I would
ever live in the place he chose,” she
says.
Jen and Jacob had dated others,
but earlier this year, realized their
friendship went much deeper. The
romance began.
“We watched them grow up
together,” says Rabbi Elimelech
Silberberg. “That they want to
remain here is a testament to the
family feeling our congregants
share.”
Miller’s mother, Leslie Weisberg,
likes telling the story about how “the
kids” were born in the same hospital
room two days apart.
“I was leaving the hospital after
giving birth to Jacob when Jen’s
mother was being wheeled into my
room. I handed her the flowers I was
about to take home. It must have
been a sign. My future daughter-in-
law was about to be born.”
Now the newlyweds will live a few
blocks from their families, including
Jen’s two older brothers, Jereme and
Daniel, both of who married women
from Chicago and moved to Detroit
with their young families.
“Young couples like the Millers
and Goodmans are instrumental in
cultivating the growth of our shul,”
Silberberg says. “They work actively,

opening their homes and reaching
out whenever there are events.”

THE JAFFES

Judd Jaffe, 34, originally from
Atlanta, recalls when he and his
wife, Estee, 27, first met Jereme and
Chaya during a Shabbos visit in
West Bloomfield. “They were amaz-
ing — relaxed, easygoing — with
an open door to everyone who just
wanted to hang out.”
The Jaffes were living in Southfield
at the time and hadn’t considered
moving. But they soon realized the
Torah Center and its people were
the right fit for them. Even before
selling their place in Southfield, they
purchased a West Bloomfield home.
“We knew we’d made the right
decision after Estee’s parents visited
from Israel,” he says. “They couldn’t
get over how welcoming and warm
all the people were.”

BAIS CHABAD HISTORY

The Sara & Morris Tugman Bais
Chabad Torah Center was started
in 1975 when Rabbi Elimelech and
Chaya Sara Silberberg came as emis-
saries of the Lubavitcher Rebbe,
the late Rabbi Menachem Mendel
Schneerson, to “spread the light of
Torah.”
