t was a bit warmer in the small
chapel than in the main sanctu-
ary at Adat Shalom Synagogue
in Farmington Hills a couple of
weeks ago
The chapel was packed with
Shabbat shul goers — young and not
so young — taking part in a repent
innovation that synagogues in Detroit
and around the country are resting:
alternative services. In an effort to
reach out to the substantial number of
members who rarely attend regular
services, congregations are booking
special minyanim to fill the needs of
young couples, singles, young adults,
families with small children, students,
the ill and others who simply want a
less-formal service setting.

The special services are generally
once-a-month activities that supple-
ment regular services. But some con-
gregations in other parts of the coun-
try offer them weekly, with multiple
minyans filling every available space
and sometimes competing intensely
for the best locations.
Services at Adat Shalom, a
Conservative synagogue, are typical.
While Rabbi Daniel Nevins led
Shabbat services for the crowd of
about 60, mostly families with young
children who sat on their parents' laps
or toddled about the aisles, his own
diapered daughter practiced climbing
the stairs to the bimah time and time
again. The informality was empha-
sized as worshippers were seemingly
plucked from their seats to read from
the Torah and as Rabbi Nevins broke
from the order of the service to offer
quick lessons.
At the same time, the traditional
formality of Shabbat services was
