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.
