night, just as Shabbat was beginning.
There were literally hundreds there. •
Most of them were Orthodox, but
some were Conservative and Reform. I
found my way down to the Wall and
began to pray.
When I was done, I looked up and
reflected for a minute. I looked around
me and all I saw were Jewish people
praying. I felt a sense of religious
belonging. It did not matter how reli-

gious any of us were — we were all
Jews. We all believed in God. We all
believed in Torah.
As I left the Wall, I looked back and
thought: We may all feel separated
because of our religious affiliations,
whether we be Reform, Conservative or
Orthodox. But we are all Jews — and .
that is what is important.

But some kids can't.

You can change that. With a gill to the JCC's Capital and
Endowment Campaign, you can provide a scholarship for a
child who otherwise wouldn't be able to enjoy the facilities of
the JCC.

Contributions to the Campaign, conducted in conjunction with
the Jewish Federation/United Jewish Foundation "Millennium
Campaign for Our Jewish Future," help provide endless oppor-
tunities to enhance and enrich your mind, body and spirit.

Your support of the Jewish Community Center will go toward
meeting the demands of a new millennium. Help keep the JCC
a vital community service right in the heart of your neighbor-
hood. Join our vision for the future. Give a gift to the JCC
Capital and Endowment Campaign. Every contribution, no
matter its size, makes a difference.

For information or to make your gift,
call Nevin Kanner, development director, (248) 661-1250.
