DETROIT JEWISII NEWS JN Helping You Navigate We've made some changes to make it easier for you, our loyal readers. Two popular features in The Jewish News — The Scene, geared to younger Jewish singles and couples with a zest for living, and Spotlight, a panoramic look at Detroit's Jewish social scene — have found a new home in our expanded Living Well section. Sports, meanwhile, has moved from within Living Well to become a separate section that we've targeted for growth in the weeks ahead. We've also renamed the entertainment section Arts & Entertainment to more accurately reflect its content. As always, we welcome your feedback.
