Once the menu was finalized
and the smoker was on its way,
Goldberg and Winer emailed a
flyer to FHDS families featuring
the menu and the pick-up date
on June 18. In about a week,
as word spread, they were at
capacity with food orders.
Goldberg, Winer and third
co-chair Rebecca Klausner
were also surprised to reach
people beyond the FHDS bub-
ble. They received orders from
Jewish families from all across
Metro Detroit, reaching a wide
spectrum of Jewish streams.
“Barbecue is easily relatable
and hard to replicate kosher
easily, so I think that helped,”
Goldberg says.
To kick off the fundraiser,
Metevia held a brisket-carving
workshop on June 17, providing
education and free samples to
participants.
After some fun, the Slows
team prepped for the main
event, requiring them to stay
awake from Sunday through
Monday as they smoked nearly
700 pounds of brisket, which
yielded about 325 pounds for
orders. They sold 450 pounds of
smoked chicken.
The meat was prepared
under Vaad kosher supervision
throughout the entire cooking
process. A FHDS board mem-
ber even created a “Tikkun Layl
BBQ,” offering Torah study for
these volunteers through the
wee hours of the morning.
The afternoon of June 18, as
people were picking up their
orders, the welcoming smell
of the freshly smoked delica-
cies greeted them in the FHDS
parking lot.
Although proceeds from the
fundraiser were not released,
Winer said it was a successful
event.
Metevia led his volunteers
without fail, all of whom were
decked out in Slows attire. He
maintained his usual high stan-
dards, even refusing to serve a
pan of chicken that didn’t cook
evenly in the smoker.
“It was a huge challenge
producing that much barbecue
in a short amount of time, but
Lisa and Asher made the expe-
rience nothing but fun for me,”
Metevia says. “I got to meet
a lot of new people and learn
about kosher practices and
standards.”
For Metevia, a major high-
light was being told he was “a
real mentsh.” While that may
help seal the deal for future
projects together, FHDS and
Slows Bar-B-Q happen to be a
perfect pair. •

Medical Volunteers

The Jewish Community Relations Council/

other medical professionals to volunteer at

School in Detroit. Physicians and other
healthcare providers are being recruited to
offer their services for four-hour shifts during
the program.
The Interfaith Health Fair is being held
in conjunction with the National Council
of Jewish Women’s/Michigan Back 2 School

items. The health fair will offer free medical
screenings to the parents and guardians who

in different faith communities and enjoy a
meaningful interfaith experience.
