Samantha Woll Center for Jewish Detroit (home of the Downtown Synagogue)
Join us for our 5th annual Block Party! We're thrilled to officially launch The Sam, a new platform for Jewish connection, creativity, and culture, inspired by the legacy of Samantha Woll z"l. Come experience a new art exhibition "Annotations,” and feel the energy of a community leading with curiosity, joy, and bold purpose. Enjoy food, live music, and fun for all ages!
This event is free and open to the Metro-Detroit Jewish community and friends. Advance registration is appreciated.
Already planning to attend? Sign up to volunteer and help us make this magical day happen!
Thank you to our Block Party partners and sponsors!
