of the Rose family members
in attendance, Sinai officials
and members of the com-

said Leslie Rose, son of Ed-

Dad would be proud of it."

In contrast, Annie Jerris of
West Bloomfield, who has
attended Hillel Day School
and Temple Israel's re-
ligious school, has had a
lifelong commitment to
Judaism.
Tonight those different

Annie. The family agreed.
Mrs. Cohen said, "Annie is
