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. Were looking for candid photographs
featuring action - nothing posed. Please submit photos to us for considera-
tion. 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.
Shabbat Shalom
Because the mitzvah of Shabbat is
the source of blessings for the
upcoming week, we should sanctify
it with delectable food and drink.
Presented by Lubavitch Women's
Organization. For information on keep-
ing kosher or lighting Shabbat candles,
