Windsor Jews Set Homecoming Windsor's Reform Congregation Beth El and the Orthodox Shaar Hashomayim Congregation will host a Jewish New Year Gala and Special Homecoming Reunion for Windsor Jews and Jews who've left the city over the years. "It's a great community, but I've seen it dwindle, and most of our kids have gone to Toronto;' Rabbi Jeffrey Ableser of Beth El told the Canadian Jewish News (CJN). Rabbi Ableser estimates the cur- rent Jewish population in Windsor at around 1,500, and said he wants people to remember his community has been around since the late 1700s. For the past year, the syna- gogues have planned the upcoming gala with an eye toward pitching Windsor as an attractive alternative to bigger cities. The gala is Saturday, Sept. 27, at the Windsor Jewish Community Centre and will feature kosher catering, live music, a comedian, a silent auction and dancing. Tickets cost $75.
