for all that they do.
“It’s meaningful every year,
but this year frankly even
more so,” Gross said. “Right
now, it’s a dangerous time
to be Jewish, and these guys
are willing to come out and
protect us, so it’s important
they know we appreciate it.”
While Gross was integral
in the financial efforts for
West Bloomfield’s Feed
the Force, Rabbi Shneur
Silberberg of the Bais
Chabad Torah Center was
integral in promoting it
to the community and
helping with the delivery on
Thanksgiving Day, his third
year of doing so.
Silberberg says this year’s
experience of feeding the
West Bloomfield Police
Department worked out well.
“The message I told
them at the station was
that we’re always grateful
and appreciative of their
work, but this year, the
appreciation is even stronger.
With what’s going on and
the hostility that exists, the
West Bloomfield Police
Department has been
extremely available,” he said.
Silberberg is also extra
appreciative of those
who donated funds and
contributed generously,
especially with so many
urgent causes for the Jewish
community to support right
now.
Rabbi Tzvi Muller backed
the Bloomfield Township
and Birmingham efforts on
behalf of the Blumenstein
Jewish Learning Center.
Muller, also the rabbi of the
Birmingham-Bloomfield
Shul, offered a short
expression of gratitude for
the officers once all the food
was set up at the stations.
“One thing I tried
to communicate is we
appreciate that they’re there
for us in a big way every day
of the year. So, it’s nice that at
least one day a year, albeit in
a small way, we can try to be
there for them,” he said.
Organizers believe the best
result that could come out
of Metro Detroit’s Feed the
Force efforts would be other
communities seeing it and
wanting to replicate it.
