Synagogues
Giving Tzedakah
Chanukah is a most auspicious
time to give tzedakah because
the holiday celebrates the tri-
umph of the Jewish "givers" over
the rapacious Greek "grabbers."
Presented by Lubavitch
Women's Organization.

To help consolidate lifecycle list-

to the Mazel Tovi Section.

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.
Were 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!
