On Tuesday, May 7th, Rabbi Shumel Irons
gave a moving and interesting lecture titled
"Why Bad Things Happen to Good People -
Coping with Grief." His wealth of knowledge
and the depth in which he covered the sub-
ject kept the audience attentive and asking
questions.
This lecture was one of a four part series that
will continue on the next two Tuesdays, May
21st and May 28th. The topic on May 21st
will be "A Time to Forgive"; and on May 28th
Rabbi Irons will discuss the "Secret of True
Happiness." The lectures given by Rabbi
Irons have been a positive experience for all
members of our community, Conservative,
Reform and Orthodox Jews. This lecture
series was created as a service for the greater
Jewish Community. Everyone who attends
will benefit from Rabbi Irons' knowledge and
enjoy his open lecture style.
Please join me at the Jewish Community
Center's West Bloomfield location the next
two Tuesdays at 8 p.m. If you have any ques-
tions about the series, please feel free to call
Deborah or Nancy at the Jewish Community
Center (810) 661-7649.
