MIDRASHA page 16
hopes students can look to
the experiential and spiritu-
al sides of the holidays, not
just the intellectual.
Difficult situations, like
making peace with a dead
relative, may be acted out.
"People often have unre-
solved relationships and
ambiguity toward the holi-
days. I'm hoping to get
them to open up more, so
they are not disappointed
by the holidays," Rabbi
Bergman said. "Often peo-
ple see the holidays like a
punishment. If they're mis-
erable for three days, they
think they'll be OK for the
rest of the year.
"I'd like to see the holi-
days viewed as a more posi-
tive experience. They
should be uplifting."
Midrasha scholar-in-resi-
dence and leader of the
Orthodox Hillel Minyan at
the University of Michigan
Rabbi Rod Glogower will
address issues of repen-
tance on Aug. 31.
Using a lesson from
Maimonides, Rabbi Glo-
gower plans to examine 24
character traits and atti-
tudes which make teshuva,
repentance, difficult.
"There are many behav-
ior patterns which we
engage in without thinking
we are doing something
wrong. We think, 'What is
wrong with thinking ill of a
neighbor as long as I do not
take action upon the
thought?' " Rabbi Glogower
said. "It's hard to repent
when you don't think you've
done anything wrong."
Rabbi Glogower said he
hopes the Midrasha classes
will help individuals experi-
ence the holidays in a deep-
er, richer way.
"Praying, in general, is
not a spectator event. While
we may be entertained by
the cantor or rabbi, we need
to come as full partici-
pants," he said. "And the
more we learn about these
occasions, the better we can
participate."
"Often people see
the holidays like
a punishment."
Rabbi Bergman
Aviva Silverman, a com-
munity educator, will wrap
up the series Sept. 8 with a
study session discussing the
binding of Isaac, or Akedah,
read from the Torah on
Rosh Hashanah morning.
She will look at original
text, Midrash and poetry
throughout the Middle Ages
and modern times which
allude to this story.
All sessions will run from
7:30 - 8:30 -p.m. at the
Agency for Jewish
Education.
Midrasha's three-part
mini-series will run Sept. 2,
7, and 9, from 7:30 to 9 p.m.
Community educator Rabbi
Ahron Davidson will ana-
lyze prayers and work to
help adults feel more com-
fortable with the structure
of the service.

Support Offered
For AIDS Families
LESLEY PEARL STAFF WRITER
W
hile those with ail-
ments ranging
from cancer to alco-
holism can find
strength in support groups,
often the surrounding fami-
ly is left to find sustenance
on its own.
Jewish Family Service is
stepping forward to offer
assistance to families of
persons with AIDS and the
HIV virus.
The program is a
response to a number of
requests to both JFS and
the Michigan Jewish AIDS
Coalition (MJAC).
A debilitating disease
still rife with stigma, AIDS
has long kept those affected
in the closet. Groups like
Parents and Friends of
and
Gays
Lesbians
(PFLAG) were among the
first to recognize the need of
parents, siblings and lovers
to talk.
The program is a
response to
requests to JFS
and MJAC.
Although nonsectarian,
PFLAG groups, like other
support meetings, often
gather in churches — leav-
ing many Jews ill at ease.
"At last report, the two
Jewish funeral homes in
Detroit had buried 70 per-
sons with AIDS. I'm sure
