You don't have to come in pairs.

promise that endures through
the generations.
Jews are more than an
ethnic group, sharing certain
common tastes in food or
humor, or certain kinds of
language or folk expression.
Jews are linked together by
more than a variety of com-
mon enemies. Jewish history
is more than a curious sur-
vival of an ancient culture.
Jewish law is more than
folkways. If we take the
biblical view seriously, then
Jewish law and observance
are the response of the Jewish
people to the demands of God
whom it seeks to serve by
both its communal and in-
dividual existence.
This theme is articulated
and affirmed during the High
Holy Days. Our prayers are in
the plural. Why? We pray not
only with the community
around us, but with all the
generations that preceded us.
One question haunts me.
What about the unborn souls
of the future? Are we ex-
cluding them from the cove-
nant? Are we giving every op-
portunity to the future whose
past we are? Our today will
soon become yesterday; what
morrow are we helping usher
in? Will our children inherit
the heritage bequeathed to
us? Will they be able to say,
"We were there?" ❑

Singles are welcome at our Rosh Hashanah Services.

We know that being single is a way of life
for a lot of people no matter what age they
are. And we know that in an all too
"coupled" world, a single can feel left out in
the cold.

You don't have to come two-by-two to our
Community-Wide Rosh Hashanah Service
for Jewish Singles, sponsored by the
Reform and Conservative Congregations of
the Metropolitan Detroit area.

This Rosh Hashanah evening service begins
our second annual series of monthly
services for Jewish singles. Subsequent
services will be held in selected Reform and
Conservative Congregations on Friday
evenings at 8:30 p.m., followed by an Oneg
Shabbat featuring a speaker and/or
program.
