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. Presented by Lubavitch Women's Organization. For information on keeping kosher or lighting Shabbat candles, contact Miriam Amzalak, (248) 548-6771, miriamamzalak®junu.com. To help consolidate lifecycle list- ings in one location, we've moved all b'nai mitzvah announcements to the Mazel Tovl Section.
