parents used to run grocery 
stores in bungalow colonies 
even before I got started. I 
guess it is in my heritage.

Operating a supermarket in 
suburban Detroit has a special 
place in Goldman’s own his-
tory. He says that he opened a 
store in the 10 Mile Road and 
Southfield area in 1996. It was 
his first big store. 

A SATISFIED SHOPPER
Chantele Fish of Oak Park 
buys groceries for her family 
at The Grove. She has noticed 
the changes. “I have shopped 
at The Grove/One Stop since 
I moved to Detroit nine years 
ago. COVID aside, I generally 
go once a week. About 25% of 
my family’s groceries are pur-
chased there. I go there to get 
kosher products that are not 
available at other local stores, 
things like parve whipped 

cream, parve caramel sauce, 
Shabbos candles, chalav 
Yisrael cheeses, etc. Generally, 
I buy the rest of my groceries 
at Trader Joe’s and Meijer. I 
like being able to get specialty 
kosher items and non-special-
ty items in one place.
” 
She added, “Since One 
Stop became The Grove, 
it’s much cleaner. The bags 
are much better quality, the 
bakery has the most amazing 
treats, including a new line of 
French petits fours. 
“They also seem to be 
keeping up with the food 
trends. It used to be that if 
you read about something 
in a kosher food magazine 
it wouldn’t be available here. 
Now, I find I am reading 
magazines like Whisk or 
Fleishigs and recognizing new 
products I’ve already seen at 
the Grove.

of “Second Temple 
Judaism: the Challenge of 
Diversity.
” 
 Diversity of ethnicity,

Mediterranean world as it is in 
the present.

fellow and U-M Professor of 
Middle East Studies and Judaic 
Studies Gabriele Boccaccini, 13 
scholars from four countries 
will explore various aspects of 
religious, cultural and political 
life during the period dating 
from the age of the Persian 
King Cyrus in the sixth century 
B.C.E. up to the Bar Kochba 
Revolt in the second century of 
the Common Era.
