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.

ing what occurs beneath the surface.
