Max Feber, 19, of West
Bloomfield appeared on ABC’
s
Shark Tank Jan. 6 to pitch his
cold brew coffee filter to the
sharks. Well, Mark Cuban bit
and offered Feber $50,000 for
30 percent of his company,
BRUW. The two struck a deal.
“I email with Mark at least
a few times a week,” Feber, a
business student at Babson
College in Massachusetts, told
the JN. “He’
s an amazing men-
tor and a huge help to me. All
his emails come from him, not an assistant.
“I want BRUW to be known as a household product; I want it to be the
new standard for making cold brew.”
And what’
s brewing with his business after the show?
“We’
ve been slammed with orders,” the BRUW founder and CEO said.
“More than 1,200 units sold in less than 72 hours.
“I’
ve gotten so much love. Total strangers are posting videos about me,
and friends from years ago are calling me. It’
s an amazing feeling.”

A Shark Bites!

On Feb. 3, from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
at the Tugman Bais Chabad of West
Bloomfield, Rabbi Shneur Silberberg,
Attorney Sanford A. Schulman and
former inmate Steven will discuss why
society locks people up and what we
hope to achieve by doing so.
More than 2.2 million Americans
are incarcerated, making the United
States the world leader in incarceration.
Hundreds of thousands of people are
released from U.S. prisons each year
to try to make a go of it. More than
two-thirds will be rearrested within
three years; half will go back in prison.
In our pursuit of justice, are we really
accomplishing justice for all? Is there
anything we can do to make a differ-
ence?
This session is the first in a series
of six classes on the topic of criminal
justice. In addition to the opening
class, there will be guest appearances
by Justice Richard Bernstein and Judge

Mark Goldsmith in later classes in the
series.
In the classes, Rabbi Silberberg will
contrast Jewish wisdom and American
law in topics such as criminal convic-
tions, sentencing, crime prevention and
rehabilitation, pondering the applica-
tion of Talmudic principles to real and
complex, modern-day cases
Classes are offered twice weekly:
Sundays, 11 a.m. at Bais Chabad of
West Bloomfield, and Thursdays,
7 p.m. at Hillel Day School in
Farmington Hills. Cost for the series
is $80 (includes student textbook). Try
out the first class at no charge.
Course offered in partnership
with Tugman Bais Chabad of West
Bloomfield, JCC’
s Fed-Ed, JBAM

Studies. The course is sponsored by the
