mareur artists erased the lines of age and
ability last week to create 17 handpainted
seder plates.
The March 18 program joined together
15 students from the Jewish Academy of Metropolitan
Detroit, 15 residents of the Lillian and Samuel
Hechtman Jewish Apartments, both in West
Bloomfield, with 15 residents of various Jewish
Association for Residential Care (JARC) group homes.
All the groups had an opportunity to learn about
people different from themselves," said Jodi Sperling, a
University of Michigan Social Work and Jewish
Community Service intern at Southfield-based JARC,
sponsor of the program. It was co-sponsored by the
Jewish Academy of Metropolitan Detroit and
Hechtman residents, who hosted the event.
The plates, supplied by You're Fired in West
Bloomfield, will be donated to Menorah House in
Southfield, Hechtman Apartments and JARC group
homes.
