that one, thank you very much.
Soft classical music playing is so
soothing; however, put one of
those tunes on a cell phone and it
about drives me nuts. The William
Tell Overture was not meant to her-
ald contact from your best friend
who only wants to ask you, "How's
things?" I also dislike the misuse of
such music to accompany my ride
in an elevator or my trek through a
store.
If you are old fashioned — and
I know you're out there, so admit it
— you enjoy the sound of corn
popping in a pot on a stove. Yes, I
still make it this way; the
microwave bags are not the same.
On the other hand, I detest the
crackling sound made by patrons
unwrapping candy during a the-

graphs more prominence and provide a live-
lier read. JN Art Director led the redesign in
consultation with Creative Director Deborah
Schultz.
Today we also showcase, in a more for-
mal way, our new
lifestyle section called
To Life! The section
was first unveiled in
the spring, but has
been enhanced over
the summer. Look
for it to improve
even more over the
year as we respond
to your needs and
interests.
Additionally,
we've also moved
sections around to
improve the flow
of your IN. For
example, many of
our calendars
have been com-
bined into our
new To Do! sec-
tion.
For many
years, the
Michigan Press
Association has
honored the IN
for both its
design and
content. But
rather than

ater presentation.
My trips to Greenfield Village in
Dearborn remind me of how
much I enjoy the sound of horses
hooves as they pull the buggies.
(Notice, I did not say the "plop-
ping" of the hooves since that
would lead to some other associa-
tions with horses which I do not
care to go into here.) And how
much nicer a sound that is than
the screeching of tires on our city
streets.
Have you ever listened to a for-
eign language spoken fluently? It is
so melodious. Compare this to
many folks talking loudly and all
at once, which can set my nerves
jangling even if I do not under-
stand what they are saying.
The ticking of a grandfather •

remain static, we want to respond as news
and interests change. Our design and con-
tent must change if
they are to remain on
the cutting edge of
Jewish journalism.

Sweet Times

As the new Jewish
year of 5766 settles
in with Rosh
Hashanah, let us
affirm our oneness as
a people and reinforce our commitment to
a host of vital communal issues: Jewish
education, Israel's security, Federation's
Annual Campaign, senior needs, young
adults, youth groups, campus life, inclusive-
ness, synagogue strengthening, the unaffili-
ated, pride in being Jewish.
May we re-stoke our efforts to make the
Detroit and Ann Arbor Jewish communities
the best that they can be: learning from our
successes, cherishing our heritage and set-
ting a determined course of action to sup-
port needs and causes we believe in.
May 5766 be a good and sweet year. The
new year begins Monday night, Oct. 3.
L'shanah tovah tikateivu v'techataymu.
May you and yours be inscribed and sealed
in the Book of Life this High Holiday sea-
son. And an early Shabbat Shalom!

clock is a soothing sound for me. I
also enjoy hearing one softly
chime. This can be especially effec-
tive in an otherwise quiet house.
The other side of the coin is the
ringing of my alarm clock, which I
rarely enjoy hearing.
One of my favorite vacation
sounds is that of waves gently
washing the shore. To swing in a
hammock and hear this or, better
yet, to merely lie in a chaise under
a beach umbrella and be only
aware of the waves, is utter relax-
ation for me. I would take that
sound over the crashing of a thun-
derstorm any day.
Well, if you want to sound off
about my list, do so. But your time
would be better spent tuning in
and making a list of your own.

Around Corner

With the influx of Jews to
Commerce Township, Rabbi
Schneor and Estie Greenberg of
the Chabad Jewish Center of
Commerce are hoping their neigh-
bors will stay close to home for
High Holiday services this year.
In addition to the adult serv-
ice, a special children's program
will take place. "The traditional
Service is designed to guide you
step by step and will make you
comfortable regardless of previ-
ous exposure and background,"
Estie Greenberg said.
All prayers will be recited in
Hebrew and also translated into
English. Membership is not
required, and there is no charge
to attend.
Services will take place on
Rosh Hashanah at 10 a.m. on
both Tuesday, Oct. 4, and
Wednesday, Oct. 5, and on Yom
Kippur at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct.
12, and 10 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 13.
All services will take place at
150 Commerce Road on the cor-
ner of Carroll Lake and
Commerce roads (between
Curves and Seven-Eleven)
