Chabad @ Super Bowl XL

First-ever stadium-adjacent Jewish fan outpost to serve
Ford Field crowds during the Motown Winter Blast and Super Bowl

WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich., Jan. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- You've seen them
everywhere. One of the oldest contemporary Jewish quips is that two things
can be found worldwide: Coke ... and Chabad.
Even at the Super Bowl? You bet.
The Shul of West Bloomfield, a popular Detroit Chabad synagogue noted for
its diversity and unique programming, has secured a prime storefront location
a stone's throw from Ford Field. Located at 1515 Woodward Ave. at the center
of the Winter Blast between Clifford and Park, Chabad at the Super Bowl,
sponsored by Lubavitch Foundation of Michigan, will serve visitors with food
for body and soul.
"We'll be asking people to put on tefillin, giving out Shabbat
candlesticks, brochures -- all the regular Chabad stuff," smiles Rabbi Yudi
Mann, a rabbi of The Shul. "In addition, we'll be selling sizzling kosher
food and snacks; subs, burgers, hot dogs, etc., and there will be a Judaic
gift shop."
Indeed, with the Game Day crowd so immense as to require 15,000 area
police officers, there are sure to be many Jews in attendance -- which is
exactly where you'd expect to find Chabad. Even if it's only for the weekend.
Says Rabbi Mann: "Come score a mitzvah at Chabad of the Super Bowl!"
