A winery tour in Israel 
might be a bit difficult to 
take right now, so NEXTGen 
Detroit, Federation’s young 
adult division, brought the 
tour to more than 45 young 
adults on Aug. 11. 
The group gathered at 
Dayspace Studio in Royal 
Oak and sampled a diverse 
collection from multiple 
regions in Israel, beginning 
with a blind strolling tasting 
and finishing with a formal 
sitdown pairing. 
Wine Guide Sean Sutton 
led the tasting and Detroit’s 
Shiliach Yiftak Leket 
discussed the history of wine 

in Israel and shared about 
the exciting wine production 
happening in Detroit’s 
Partnership2Gether Region 
in the Central Galilee. 
“Thanks to the country’s 
range of landscapes 
and climates, and rich 
agricultural traditions, Israeli 
vintners are producing some 
of the world’s most delicious 
and interesting wines,” said 
Hannah Berger, lead staff for 
the event. 
“We were very excited to 
bring this tasting experience 
to the NEXTGen Detroit 
community, and so glad 
everyone enjoyed it.”
