The Men’
s Club of Congregation 
B’
nai Moshe in West Bloomfield, is 
hosting a mead tasting event open to 
the community at 8 p.m. Saturday, 
Feb. 23, at the synagogue. The event 
is for those age 21 and older. Cost is 
$30 per person for a flight of five or 
six different meads and then a full 
serving of your choice — plus appe-
tizers, coffee and desserts. 
 Mead, which will be supplied by 
Schramm’
s Meads in Ferndale, is 
a delicious alcoholic dessert wine 
made from honey and spices. In 
one rating of meads, including oth-
ers from Michigan, across the U.S., 
and Europe (Link), two varieties of 
Schramm’
s Meads took first and sec-

ond place, and in total 10 out of the 
top 25 world-wide. As these meads 
do not contain any grape product, 
they do not fall under wine designa-
tions and do not need a heksher. 
 In addition, Rabbi Shalom Kantor 
has inspected the production facili-
ties and confirmed that all ingredi-
ents, honey, wine, fruits, spices, yeast, 
settling agents, bottling supplies, 
are all inherently kosher or have a 
kosher certificate on them. 
 RSVPs are due by Feb. 18 to the 
synagogue office at (248-788-0600). 
Checks should be made payable to 
the B’
nai Moshe Men’
s Club, 6800 
Drake Road, West Bloomfield 48322.
