Although he described himself as
non-observant, he still attends the
minyan several times a week and ser-
vices nearly every Saturday.
For Schloss, the ceremony "was
something that I wanted. It allowed
there to be a pulling of everything
together. I was very close to my moth-
er, Rose Magy. I want to do everything
I can to raise her soul. The ceremony
allowed the rabbi to say a special
prayer!'
She, too, continues to attend the
minyan. "They tease me that I need a
hobby. But this community has sup-
Marla Schloss of West Bloomfield
ported me. I knew where I was going
to be every evening and most morn-
ings. Now I feel I'm doing it for my
friends."
Rabbi Yanoff calls the ceremony
"a natural outgrowth of the sense of
togetherness" created within the min-
yan."I think it's wonderful when our
community takes a leadership role.
It's a mitzvah that we want to encour-
acre"
