The Scene

18 Challenge For Learning
Project

he new and improved Scene
section debuts on page 98. In
an effort to reach out to and
provide meaningful stories for
younger readers — "college age
through 30-something"— we have
packaged The Scene section in an
attractive new format. We have lined
up a team of young and talented writ-
ers, and brainstormed a list of
informative stories focusing on young
Jewish adults in southeastern
Michigan.
In the beginning, The Scene will
appear on the second and fourth
Friday of each month. Our Scene cal-
endar will continue to be a focal
point.
We hope young adults find our
revitalized Scene section useful and
informative. We would enjoy hearing
your feedback!
