While most members — whose
annual dues are $400 with a yearly $50
building fee — live in the Livonia area,
some come from as far as Bloomfield
Hills and Dearborn. Seven new mem-
ber families have joined Beit Kodesh in
the last year or so, bringing the total to
47 families.
Weekly Shabbat services are
described by Kirsch as "a more mod-
ern service with a lot of English on
Friday nights and a more traditional
service on Saturday mornings."
As in previous years, Cantor Harry
Sturm will conduct High Holiday
services at the synagogue. This year,
Cantor Emeritus David Gutman will
also officiate.
"Today, as my wife and I look
back and recall the memories of our

children coming to services with us,
attending Sunday school and having
their bar and bat mitzvah, we see that
our heimishe shul, after all these years,
still remains just that:' Kirsch said. "It's
a warm and inviting place for friends
and family to worship, to learn, cel-
ebrate and socialize together." El

Shabbat services at Congregation
Belt Kodesh are held at 8 p.m.
