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
It is forbidden to turn away
someone who begs for charity
because it says in Tehillim: "Let
not the oppressed turn back in
shame."
Presented by Lubavitch
Women's Organization.

kosher or lighting Shabbat
candles, contact Miriam

To help consolidate lifecycle list-
ings in one location, we've moved
all binai mitzvah announcements
to the Mazel Tovl Section.
