Chabad at the Draft: Kosher, Shabbat and Tefillin in Green Bay
by Tzemach Feller – Lubavitch.com
As thousands converge on Green Bay, Wisconsin — the site of this year’s NFL Draft — this weekend, Chabad-Lubavitch of Wisconsin is providing kosher meals, Shabbat accommodations, and mitzvah opportunities for Jewish fans, agents and employees visiting the city.
The initiative is quarterbacked by Chabad of the Bay Area, which was established by Rabbi Michoel and Esther Feinstein in 2010. Chabad will serve as a hospitality hub during the Draft, with visitors stopping by for Shabbat services and meals, as well as for prayer services during the week.
In Titletown—the park outside Lambeau Field—a tent staffed by Chabad reps and volunteers will offer kosher meals, tefillin, and Jewish swag for fans.
Chabad centers from elsewhere in the state are joining in the effort as well. The Deli on Crown, a kosher restaurant that is part of Chabad of Mequon’s Peltz Center for Jewish Life; and the Friendship Circle Cafe and Bakery, a project of the Friendship Circle of Wisconsin will be providing their fare.
