almost 12" of West
Bloomfield: "You
need to improve your-
self first. You need to
think before you
speak. Ask, 'Is it nice
to say this? Would I
like to be spoken
about this way?'"

of Oak Park:
"You could have
people sleep
over at your
house for Shab-
bat, and when
you only have
one bed and a
mattress, you
give the gUest the bed and you take
the mattress."

ESTHER
LEAF, 8 '/2,

Oak Park:
"Even if you're invit-
ed to a party of
someone who is not
your friend, you
should go to be
nice. When you go
to a simcha, you
should always say
'Mazel toy.' Be sure to invite other people
to a meal on Shabbat. And just be nice."

ESTHER BORDMAN,

1 4, of Southfield:
"You should play with
everyone and learn to
share."

of West Bloomfield:
"We need_to get
together more often,
and if you have an
event, like a pidyon
haben [redemption
of the first born], you
shouldn't -invite just
your own family but also other people."

Bloomfield: "Every
night you should
think about people,
about what you did
[to them] that was-
n't right. Then you
say 'I'm sorry' and
you stop being mean, and you're embar-
rassed because no one likes saying, 'I'm
sorry.–

AHARONOV,

"almost 9," of West
Bloomfield: "When
people work together,
and when you invite
people to your house for
Shabbat, and everyone
gets along, then
Mashiach [Messiah] will
come. So you should
play with other people and really try to
get along."

of Oak Park:
"If someone •
forgets their
lunch, you
could give
them some of .
yours.

PENINA
FORTA, 8, of

Oak Park:
"You could invite
people over to
play some days,
and you should
share toys with
your brother and
sister."

YAEL HYMAN,

"You should think
before you speak
and listen to the
Torah, which

"era jach
kamocha — you
should love your
fellow.Jew."
