nder the best of circumstances, time moves so
swiftly that we don't even notice until the leaves
begin to fall or the snow starts to melt. But,
planning ahead makes the change in any season

4TH ANNUAL DISABILITIES AWARENESS SHABBAT
SPONSORED BY JEWISH FEDERATION OF METROPOLITIAN DETROIT
On the final shabbat of National Disabilities Awareness Month,
October 25-26, local congregations participate in an awareness
service, with the rabbis encouraged to discuss sensitivity and
the value and dignity of each individual.
Already, area temples and synagogues practice disablities aware-
ness on a routine basis, with large print prayer books, assistive
listening devices, lifts, accessible bimahs, Braille books and
American Sign Language interpreters.
Sponsored by Jewish Federation of Metropolitian Detroit and its Information
and Referral Service. A list of disabilities services are available by calling
(810) 967-4357 or the T7' line (810) 967-0460.
