Getting together is important
to Rabbi Steven Rubenstein of
Congregation Beth Ahm in West
Bloomfield, especially after the win-
ter fun they had over the weekend of
Feb 6.
“With so few opportunities late-
ly, because of the pandemic, to get
together. This seemed like a real
great opportunity — even got to see
some people I hadn’t seen in a little
bit,” Rabbi Rubenstein said.
The congregation planned its
Sledding and Snowflakes event
more than two months ago. Rabbi
Rubenstein said he wasn’t even
sure if it would happen because in
Michigan, you can never be sure
what the weather will be like.
“We were excited to see all the
snow last week and knew we would
be good for the sledding event. We
had a nice range of kids there from
real little ones on up. We had a
3-year-old and a 12-year-old there
and a handful of families, and it was
a beautiful day for sledding.”
“We were over at Shiawassee Park
in Farmington Hills, we even had
doughnuts and hot chocolate and
everyone had a really good time,”
added Rabbi Rubenstein.
