Temple Shir Shalom of West 
Bloomfield is sponsoring its ninth 
annual Chicken Soup Cook-Off 
Sunday, Jan. 27, from 12:30-2 p.m. 
Numerous recipes of chicken soup 
will be featured for patrons to sam-
ple. Last year, there were 25 different 
varieties of chicken soup. 
Restaurants, individuals and 
families from the community will 
be bringing in their best chicken 
soups for guests to sample. Lulus of 
Commerce, Pickles + Rye, Steve’
s 
Deli, Henry Ford West Bloomfield 
Hospital and Jennifer’
s Cafe are 
among potential participants. 
At the Cook-Off, guests will be 
able to vote for the “Best Chicken 
Noodle Soup,” “Best Matzo Ball 
Soup,” and “Best Contemporary 
Chicken Soup.” In addition, there 
will be a “People’
s Choice Award” 
and even a “Best Decorated Table 
Award.” 
The Chicken Soup Cook-Off was 

the brainstorm of Rabbi Daniel 
Schwartz who says, “This is a fun 
opportunity to bring together not 
only our congregants, but the public 
as well. This is a great cause and the 
opportunity to raise money for char-
itable organizations is a privilege.” 
The organizations supported 
include I Am My Bothers Keeper 
Ministries, Heart 2 Hart, Shir 
Shalom Young Adult’
s Group, which 
generates new programs and helps 
to provide scholarships to religious 
school students. Last year, more than 
500 people attended to go along with 
the more than $5,000 raised from 
the event. 
Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 
for children ages 5-12 with children 
4 and under free. The cost for an 
entire family is $15.
For more information and advance 
tickets, contact Rabbi Daniel 
Schwartz at (248) 737-8700 or email 
cookoff@shirshalom.org.
