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 consideration.
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 identification — 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.
