Last year, more than 70
adults engaged in study on
Hoshanah Rabbah, the seventh day
of Sukkot, at the first community-
wide Tor-ah-thon, a program spon-
sored by Federation's Alliance Jewish
Education's FedEd department.
Hoshanah Rabbah is considered
the final day of the divine "judgment"

Year is determined. It is customary to
remain awake on the night preceding
Hoshanah Rabbah and study Torah.
Dr. Mitch Parker, Florence Melton
Adult Mini-School faculty member
and coordinator of the Tor-ah-thon,
said: "We will be celebrating Torah by
studying Torah."
Tor-ah-thon will take place 10

Jewish Community Center in West
Bloomfield. The program is free and
open to the public.
Participants will study with two
rabbis during the Tor-ah-thon. Rabbis
will be randomly placed throughout
Handleman Hall, inside the JCC. The
first hour of study will explore the last
chapter of Deuteronomy. Each rabbi
