The Jewish Community Relations
Council/AJC and Jewish Federation
of Metropolitan Detroit praise the
Michigan State legislature for its
passage last week of resolutions cel-
ebrating 70 years since the establish-
ment of the State of Israel.
Senate Resolution 154, sponsored
by Sen. Arlan Meekhof, and House
Resolution 308, sponsored by Rep.
Robert Wittenberg, passed with
bipartisan support. The resolutions
celebrate Israel’s landmark anniver-
sary and reaffirm the many vibrant
ties that link Michigan and Israel.
“On behalf of the Detroit Jewish
Federation, I would like to express
our gratitude to Sen. Meekhof and
Rep. Wittenberg, and all of the co-
sponsors from the Michigan Senate
and House, for their recognition of
this historic occasion,” said Beverly
Liss, Federation president. “We’re
extremely proud of the strong, sup-
portive bond between Israel and the

state of Michigan, and we deeply
appreciate our lawmakers’ ongoing
commitment to this relationship.”
Alicia Chandler, president of
the Jewish Community Relations
Council/AJC, remarked, “Israel’s
70th anniversary is a time to pause
and reflect on the miracle that is the
modern state of Israel. What was
just a dream for millennia is now a
complex, vibrant, thriving democ-
racy that brings innovation and
technology to the world. Each year
is an opportunity to celebrate plural-
istic and democratic values toward
which Israel continues to strive.”
The Metro Detroit Jewish com-
munity will honor this milestone
anniversary for Israel through a
year-long Israel@70 campaign. In
the coming months, there will be
at least 70 programs honoring the
occasion, ranging from small gath-
erings to major community-wide
events. •

Busch’s Food Drive

Busch’s Fresh Food Market will part-
ner with local food banks to help
reduce child hunger with the annual
All aBout Children Food Drive,
a community-based fundraiser,
where donations will remain within
the walls of local neighborhoods.
The drive will run Monday, May 7,
through Wednesday, May 16, at all
Busch’s locations.
“We’re ecstatic that the generos-
ity of our guests helps provide food
for our children and families.” said
Doug Busch, community develop-
ment director. “This has allowed us
to raise over $3 million in cash and
food donations since 2009.”
Guests will have the opportunity
to donate five different ways, which

include $5 toward produce, $10 in
bakery, recycling slips, any cash
amount or a $10 ready-to-go bag.
Busch’s will also be hosting a
Grill Fest at all locations, 11:30
a.m.-6 p.m., Friday, May 11, through
Sunday, May 13, in which a portion
of sales will be donated directly to
the food drive.
J.B.’s Smokehouse, located inside
the Canton store, will also be sup-
porting the food drive with a spe-
cialty menu.
“Many children rely on schools or
other day programs to get the food
they need,” Busch said. “This is our
chance to deliver fresh, nutritious
food for our children to eat during
the summer months.” •
