On Sunday, Aug. 18, an estimated 
7,000 people took part in the the 
fourth Annual Hazon Michigan 
Jewish Food Festival, designed to 
bring Metro Detroit Jews together to 
gain awareness in the areas of food, 
food justice, sustainability and health. 
This year’
s festival featured approxi-
mately 160 Jewish organizations, local 
vendors and justice groups. New this 
year was the Lab for Sustainability 
Cove, featuring workshops on how to 
cook with scraps in Make Food Not 
Waste and the Hazon Bike Blender, 
which allowed guests to make a 
smoothie with bicycle power and no 
electricity. 
Also new was an Artspace that fea-
tured art made from repurposed and 
recycled items, student work from 
Soul Studio and a workshop from 
the Detroit Institute of Arts that had 
attendees make pins out of art slides. 

Hazon had guests turn old festival 
T-shirts into shopping bags. Signal 
Return allowed guests to print a spe-
cial quote using letter press technique 
and no electricity. A local veteran’
s 
business, which uses scrap leather 
from automakers to make shoes and 
wallets, provided demonstrations.
People could also head to the MSU 
Tollgate Farm, which featured infor-
mation about caring for animals, a 
greyhound dog rescue and a chalk 
artist who worked alongside kids.
Farmers at the festival were not 
only selling produce but were also 
asked to provide samples of unusual 
vegetables they grow on their land. 
Many connections and learning 
experiences took place during the 
five-hour festival, according to its 
director, Marla Schloss.
