Synagogues
Here's Your Chance
We want to feature a photograph each
week to accompany this Synagogue
List. Your congregations are busy
doing special things all the time. This
is a great place to showcase them.
We're looking for candid photographs
featuring action - nothing posed.
Please submit photos to us for consid-
eration. We will share the wealth and
rotate among the congregations.
We prefer digital images sent by
e-mail. High resolution. High quality.
Timely. Not too many people. Full iden-
tification - name and city as well as
the ages of children. With your photos,
send information about the event -
what, who, when, where and why.
Include a contact and daytime phone
number.
Send it all to Sy Manello at
smanello©thejewishnews.com or call
(248) 351-5147. That's all there is to it"
Giving Tzedakah
If someone asks for food, we
must believe he needs it and
provide it. If someone asks for
clothing, we may ascertain
whether it is really needed
before providing it.
