Friday night Shabbat was 
recently held at Bowers 
Farm in Bloomfield Hills 
for the people served by 
JARC. More than 120 
people JARC serves, JARC 
staff and some JARC board 
members joined together 
to enjoy a delicious 
cookout that included 
food, lawn games, music 
and more. 
 The JARC event was 
sponsored by the Ethel 
Hyman and Rose Kaplan 
Foundation.
Kosher hot dogs, ham-
burgers, watermelon, 

salads and cookies helped 
to make the cookout a 
fun event for all. The 
people JARC serves were 
all smiles as they joined 
their friends and played 
cornhole, croquet and ring 
toss with each other.
Jack Kaufman, trustee of 
the Ethel Hyman and Rose 
Kaplan Foundation, said, 
“The Ethel Hyman and 
Rose Kaplan Foundation 
supports the Annual JARC 
Community Shabbat 
Cookout because it simply 
brings joy to the people 
JARC serves.”
