An Apple This Day

... means a great Jewish year ahead. Get ready for Apples 6- Hone

I is the apple of the community's eye.
The 15th Annual Apples & Honey and
Lots, Lots More is set for this Sunday, Sept.
9, 1:30-4:30 p.m. at the Jewish Community
Center in Oak Park.
This free event will feature fun, games and proj-
ects to help the entire family get ready for the
High Holidays. It is sponsored by Jewish
Experiences For Families (JEFF), the Jewish News,
the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit and
the JCC.
This year's event carries the theme "Tikkun
Olam: Repairing the World ... Together!" Children
will receive a "Tikkun Time" tool belt, with which
they can collect the following "tools" to help them
make the world a better place.
• A bandage, to repair the world.
• An "I Am Loved" button, to remember the
happiness that one gets when he gives.

• A paintbrush, to color the world.
• A ruler, to keep things straight.
• A ladder, to climb to the stars.
Children will receive each tool at a different
booth, all operated by local Jewish organizations,
synagogues and temples.
Also at Apples & Honey: favorites including the
Shofar Factory, face painting, and the "bee man,"
who carries actual bees and honeycombs.
Each family also can receive a scrapbook for the
coming year, which will help them record their
progress as they take on mitzvah projects.
While the event is free, please be sure to bring a
NEW small toy, which will be donated to the First
Fruits Birthday Gift Program.
First Fruits, sponsored by JEFF and designed by
JEFF chairman, Karen Alpiner, directs birthday
presents to Jewish children who might not oth-
erwise receive them.

Come Blow Your Horn

Last year, Abby
Trotz, 5, of
Farmington
showed of the
challah she made.

The Shofar Factory remains one of the most popular
attractions at Apples 6- Honey.

I

t must have been one of the most
unusual packages ever sent through the
mail. Horns — dozens of them
frozen.
Rabbi Ahron Davidson, who has been in
charge of the Apples & Honey Shofar Factory
from the start, first ordered the horns used
at the event from a meat-supply compa-
ny. They arrived frozen, and com-
pletely unprepared.
"I had to cook them in
large pots to remove the
bone that's inside

Tzvi Klein, 8, of
Southfield tried out
his new shofar made
at the Shofar Factory
last year.
