Woodward Ave. Bloomfield Township Canton 1735 Canton Center Rd. The Charaches, who live close to the West Bloomfield gallery, keep a stash of the work of both their daughter and son and periodically change the ones on display. Furnished in black and white, their home can play up the col- ors and designs featured in the various renderings. As the gallery exhibits change and the number of visitors grow, Natalie and Manny Charach look to the future with the intent of offering new opportunities to talented Jewish artists and the people who appreciate those talents. They also continue to find time for their other special interests, including the American Red Magen David for Israel, JARC, Kadima and Gilda's Club. Manny Charach envisions a new project. "We recently took the word 'museum' out of the name of the gallery because we didn't [accumulate] permanent dis- plays," he says. "In my mind, I feel that Detroit needs a Jewish museum, and I'm talking to people about that." 26540 Ford Rci-. Laurel Park Mail (The Heights Plaza) (37622 6 Mile Rd.)
