Rabbi: Nicholas ueeg al bu si Aq o 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! Behrmann. Cantorial soloist: Bryant Frank.
