“What’s happened in 
the past 20 years has been 
incredible,” he says of the 
city’s evolution. “While the 
young Jewish community 
in the suburbs is thriving, 
I think in a lot of ways, 
it’s still finding a place 
in Detroit. There’s room 
for growth here and that’s 
what makes it a unique 
opportunity.”
Moishe Pod Detroit 
will maintain strong ties 
with other Detroit- and 
Metro Detroit-based 
Jewish organizations, 
including Chabad of 
Greater Downtown Detroit 
and NEXTGen Detroit, 
which also cater to young 
Jewish adults. Collectively, 
they hope to grow the 
community further and 
continue to expand its 

reach in the Downtown 
Detroit area.
While plans are still in 
the works for upcoming 
events, Ben Sider says 
some events the duo are 
considering are a night out 
at a Pistons game, game 
nights and a blood drive.
The Siders are spreading 
the word about the new 
Moishe Pod Detroit 
through a growing 
WhatsApp group chat and 
on their Instagram page at 
@detmopo.
“We’re so happy to be a 
part of the amazing work 
that so many organizations 
are doing,” Ben Sider says. 
“If we can be a part of 
creating those relationships 
and keeping those 
relationships alive, we can 
keep the ball rolling.”
