ewish stars created by local art-
ists appear on the pages of this
Rosh Hashanah edition of the
Jewish News as a reminder of the mitzvah
of feeding the hungry.
The colorful stars — all original works
of art no larger than 8 inches by 8 inches
— were donated by the artists and will be
auctioned as part of the JN's campaign to
fight hunger.
Proceeds from the auction will benefit
Yad Ezra, a kosher food pantry in Berkley,
and Gleaners Food Bank of Southeast
Michigan.
An exhibition of the stars will be
on display in the atrium of the Jewish
Community Center in West Bloomfield
