SUMMARY:A Tequila Tasting and Dinner with The Loop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for The Loop’s spring event at The Benstein Grille in Commerce\nTownship for a tequila tasting and dinner! We’re bringing together members of\nthe tribe from Metro Detroit’s west-side suburbs to meet\, mingle\, eat good\nfood and learn all about our favorite south-of-the-border spirit.

In addition\, we’ll\nbe treated to a tasting as well as a tutorial on how to make some signature\ncocktails. Hope to see you there! \nThe Loop is a Federation initiative focused on engaging with and bringing\ntogether Jews living in the westernmost suburbs of Detroit (think Walled Lake\,\nNorthville\, Novi\, Commerce\, Plymouth). \n**About Greg Sobol and Tekiah**\nGreg Sobol is the child of two distinct yet equally beautiful cultures\,\nMexican Judaism and Michigan Judaism. The intersection of his heritage and\nidentity influenced Tekiah Kosher Tequila.

Founded in 2024 and based in Royal Oak\, Tekiah is the first\nJewish-inspired kosher tequila in the United States. The company is\nrepresented by Imperial Beverage\, Kalamazoo.
