habad of Troy signed the 
purchase agreement on a future 
campus, which will become a 
home for every Jewish person in the area 
and will serve as a center for everything 
Jewish.
In conjunction with this special 
occasion, Chabad of Troy is also hosting 
its First Annual Jewish Car Show from 10 
a.m.-noon Sunday, Aug. 18. The fun takes 
place at its new building at 4050 Coolidge 
Highway in Troy. 
The idea for a local Jewish car show 
took place last year, when a member of 
Chabad of Troy offered to sponsor and 
help arrange the event. This year, the 
entire community is invited.
This event promises to be a spectacular 
gathering, celebrating both a passion for 
automobiles and the exciting future of 
Chabad of Troy.
All Jewish car enthusiasts are invited to 
bring their prized vehicles to the event: 
classic, a modern marvel or anything in 
between — the Jewish community would 
love to see it. Even if you don’t have a 

car to show, come for a morning of fun 
and fellowship and a range of activities, 
including kosher snacks and drinks, live 
music and an art exhibit by a Holocaust 
survivor, offering a meaningful cultural 
touchstone. 
Visitors will be able to walk through 
the new building intended to become a 
central hub for Jewish life in Troy.
“Moving to Michigan almost five years 
ago, the whole car thing was new to 
me,
” explained Chabad of Troy’s Rabbi 
Menachem Caytak. “But now I am really 
embracing the culture, and what can 
be better than bringing cars and Jews 
together for a great event?”
“The event is more than just a car 
show; it’s a celebration of community, 
culture and the exciting future that lies 
ahead,
” Rabbi Caytak said. “Chabad of 
Troy is eager to share this moment with 
you and looks forward to seeing both 
familiar faces and new friends.
