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.
