T

he arrival of the New
Year brings warm
memories of family
togetherness, spend-
ing time at the synagogue and de-
lectable dinners.
The synagogue is a common
denominator for Jewish activity,
and most youths associate their
memories and stories into events
that occur there.
Seventeen-year-old Michele
Persin of West Bloomfield likes
how "Rosh HaShana is exactly
the same every year, which makes
it so special. Each year, Rabbi Ro-
man (at Temple Kol Ami) tells
the same stories, and if he didn't
tell the one about the man who
visits the Baal Shem Tov, it just
wouldn't be the same.
Stacy Kessler, 14, of Beth Abra-
ham Hillel Moses, recalls, "At the

kids' services on Rosh HaShana,
the adults walked around giving
hard candy to the quiet kids. I
would be as quiet as a mouse so I
could earn a piece of candy."
Fourteen-year-old Sammy Bo-
rofsky thinks of "walking down
the aisle with my flashlight during
my first Yom Kippur at shul, and
I had my new flashlight and got
to shine it along with many other
kids from the bimah."
Sammy's brother, Michael,
16, remembers when "I was real-
ly little and on the bimah at
Shaarey Zedek we had to sing
Arlon Ulm and my mom made
me go up. I was crying and it
wasn't fun. I didn't want to go up
there."
Sixteen-year-old Josh Feinberg
has a more pleasant bimah expe-
rience at Beth Abraham Hillel
Moses. "Every year I am honored
by the invitation to chant He-
brew in front of hundreds of con-

I receive when I stand on the

uncornpared."
Leigh Apple, a Bloomfield
Cranbrook senior, 17, reminisces
about "going to the creek at Adat
Shalom with my Hebrew school
class and emptying my pockets of
the bad things that I did that
year."
Anne Littman, 15, of Shir
Tikvah, remembers "sitting in the
back of the services, and we
