ECUMENICAL AWARD Temple Emanu-El and its sisterhood were recently honored at the Jewish Community Council board meeting for co-sponsoring the annual Ecumenical Passover Workshop and model seder programs over the last 10 years. Jeannie Weiner, presi- dent of the Jewish Commun- ity Council presented the award to Judy Nolish of Temple Emanu-El. Par- ticipation in this program has reached 130, including Christian clergy and lay leaders from metropolitan Detroit and Windsor.
