a more summer feel. But had to
quickly change locations due to
the weather.
“Those who registered for the
event were notified, and we were
still able to give it a chill summer
vibe in our building. We have a large
garage door we were able to open, and
people could still enjoy the outdoor feel
with good food and music.”
For all Partners Detroit events, Gross says, while
socializing and community is important, they always implement some-
thing with depth.
“We share an idea of Judaism that people can think about and take
home with them. On top of that, especially post-COVID, pushing yourself
to get up and get out is crucial,” he said.
“Everyone’s gotten used to locking themselves up. I think in some ways
we still are struggling a
little bit. Pushing your-
self to meet other people
and having a sense of
community with a good
group of people who
are happy to see you is
important in hopes to
expand our Jewish jour-
ney together.”
