Up With Song

Music by an interfaith choir resonated at Temple Israel's Kabbalat Shabbat
service Friday night, Aug. 17. Temple Israel's Shir Ami Choir, under the
direction of Cantor Lori Corrsin, and the Detroit-based Third New Hope
Baptist Church Choir, under the direction of Yvonne Morre-Fant (bottom

the temple and the church begun last Pesach. Right, Harriet Hessenthaler

and temples should come
to ether for the purpose
o showing the diversity

Pastor E. L. Branch in
his guest sermon. "Let us
build bridges that bring
us together rather than
walls that divide us."

"We want people to use their history
and Jewish themes that have been

passed down in their family," says event
co-chairwoman Hannah Monique
Ulrych of Southfield. "The significance
of the event is to be able to enhance
your holiday spirit by setting a beauti-
ful table and preparing your home to
honor God. It's a mitzvah."
