On April 20, Jewish leaders from Dayenu: A Jewish Call to Climate
Action, Jewish Youth Climate Movement (JYCM), The Shalom
Center, MI Interfaith Power and Light, and more gathered in front of
the Ann Arbor office of Chase Bank to demand that JPMorgan Chase
take immediate action to end their investments in polluting fossil
fuels. Emphasizing the urgency of the moment and lifting up the
symbols of Passover, community leaders proclaimed the plagues that
fossil fuel “Pharaohs” — coal, oil and gas companies — have inflicted.
They held up matzah to demonstrate the urgency needed to confront
the climate crisis and urged Chase to “move their dough”’ out of pol-
luting fossil fuels.
Dayenu protested in front of
Chase Bank in Ann Arbor.
West Bloomfield’s Soul Cafe’s delicious
fully kosher menu is getting an exciting
refresh. The Friendship Circe Soul Cafe
team has been creating tasty new dish-
es to launch a new menu, and they’re
turning to their dedicated community to
help choose a new dish to include on the
updated menu.
The public will have the opportunity
to sample and vote on their favorite Soul
Cafe pizza, and the dish with the most
votes will be added permanently to the
new menu.
Pizza lovers can visit Soul Cafe through
May 7 to try a taste of the three pizzas
and cast their vote for their favorite. For
Soul Cafe customers who can’t make it
into the restaurant, voting will also be
held online at: www.friendshipcircle.org/
soul/pick-your-pizza.
Friendship Circle’s Soul Cafe provides
vocational opportunities to adults with
special needs. The cafe staff teaches train-
ees fundamental skills, including food
prep, cooking, hosting and serving.
