THE CAREFREE WAY TO
CLIMB STAIRS

When you're disabled, or just not able to move around
as freely as you once could, stairs can be a real prob-
lem. But there is a simple answer. The powered stairway
lift. Easily installed to fit curved or straight stairs. They
give you back the ability to move around your own
home. Folds back-gets in nobody's way.

s participants in the eighth
annual Church-Synagogue
Tour traveled from the
Church of St. Alexander to
Nardin Park Methodist Church and
finally to Adat Shalom Synagogue, the
group kept getting larger.
By the time the program, sponsored
by the Southfield-based Ecumenical
Institute for Jewish-Christian Studies
on Sept. 24, reached Rabbi Herbert
Yoskowitz's tour of his synagogue,
some three dozen participants had
gathered to learn about those of differ-
ent faiths within the Farmington Hills

community.
The program was included as part
of this year's Farmington/Farmington
Hills Heritage Festival, "Many Faces,
One Future — Our Community's
Heritage Celebration," which was
organized by the
Farmington/Farmington Hills
Multiracial Council.
A highlight during the Adat Shalom
portion of the tour was when the group
was shown a European Torah brought to
the United States following the
Holocaust, said David Blewett, executive
director of the Institute. "It really affect-
ed people. Everybody got up and gath-
ered around to see one of the scrolls
found after the war." ❑
