Friendseder™ Community Brunch

This event is IN PERSON at Zingerman’s Greyline.

Friendseder is to Passover what Friendsgiving is to Thanksgiving. If you’re reading this, you’re a friend of the Deli’s, so whether or not you celebrate Passover, we’d love to have you join us at our Friendseder Brunch!

At a Friendsgiving, you might expect to see twists on classic Thanksgiving dishes, and Friendseder is no different (except with classic Jewish dishes, of course). Friendseder is celebrated before the start of Passover, so together we’ll enjoy a 4-course brunch that’s inspired by the Seder plate without needing to follow Passover dietary rules. The menu includes dishes like Yemenite Charoset Parfait, Hungarian Spiced Deviled Eggs, and Brisket Roulade with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce (vegetarian options available upon request). And we wouldn’t forget fun brunch beverages—your ticket includes mocktail pairings! Or, upgrade your experience and opt for alcoholic cocktails instead. Cheers! (Or rather, l’chaim!)

Unable to join us in person? We have a virtual brunch bundle option that can be shipped anywhere in the US and/or order a starter kit from The Well.

This is our second annual Friendseder, and we’re very excited to once again be partnering with The Well to bring their initiative to our Ann Arbor community. Your hosts for the brunch will be Zingerman’s Event Coordinator Tessie Ives-Wilson and The Well’s Executive Director Rabbi Jeff Stombaugh. Together, they will lead you on a guided tour of this special brunch menu—the tastes, products, ingredients, meaning, ritual, and traditions.

The Well is a Detroit area non-profit with a mission to create and foster an accessible, inclusive, and relationship-driven community. They use Jewish wisdom and rituals to help foster community, but you don’t have to be Jewish to join the community! Friendseder welcomes everyone to the table to learn about Passover rituals and traditions, but also encourages you to make the holiday your own! A portion of ticket sales will be donated to support the work of The Well and Friendseder.
