Beth El Hosts Hadassah Lieberman
Placing remembrance stones are Nancy Glen, Bailey Smith Heiman and Dana
Glen McDowell.
Adults, Children Remember Victims
Congregation Beth Shalom's Gan Shalom preschool remembered the vic-
tims of the Sept. 11 tragedy by filling a large glass bowl with stones.
Beginning at the Kol Nidre service and ending at the "Shofar Blowout"
at the end of Yom Kippur, members of Congregation Beth Shalom placed
the stones to honor victims of the recent attacks in America and Israel.
Nancy Glen, Beth Shalom's executive vice president, saw a similar display
at the Jewish Community Center in West Bloomfield during the recent
Federation's Women's Day of Solidarity. She thought repeating the concept
would enable congregants to carry on a meaningful Jewish tradition inside
the synagogue.
