On May 19, The Shul Chabad 
Lubavitch held its Great 
Jewish Family Festival at 
Heritage Park in Farmington 
Hills. It was a day filled with 
community spirit, great vol-
unteers and gorgeous weather. 
Attendees enjoyed pizza, 
music, mini golf, a magic 
show, games and more to cel-
ebrate Lag b’Omer together. 
The Shul sends a special 
thank you to Flagstar Bank, 

DTE Energy and Mark & 
Debbie Druck for enabling 
this to happen with their 
support and sponsorships, 
and to the Friday Boys and 
the Shinshinim (Israeli high 
school students participating 
in a six-month service pro-
gram) for creating a welcom-
ing feeling. 
The day couldn’t have hap-
pened without the help from 
community volunteers.
