Rabbi Conrad, Pastor Kaufman and Cantorial Soloist Frank

T

he Grosse Pointe Jewish
Council and Grosse Pointe
Congregational Church held
a joint Thanksgiving service at the
church, believed to be the first joint
Jewish-Christian service in the Grosse
Pointes.
The Nov. 23 service was led by Pastor
M. Jacob Kaufman, Rabbi Ernst J.
Conrad and Cantorial Soloist Bryant
Frank. Symbols and prayers of both tra-
ditions were blended into the service.
Members of both congregations
heard Rabbi Conrad speak of his
gratitude to the United States for
welcoming him as a German refugee
in 1938 and the joy he felt as his ship
passed the Statue of Liberty entering
New York Harbor.
Pastor Kaufman spoke on the

Now on View:

importance of focusing on what unites
us rather than what separates us and
on our shared worship of our one God.
He related to the congregation how
pleased he was when he mentioned
that the United Church of Christ was
updating their prayers to include
the biblical matriarchs and Rabbi
Conrad told him that Reform Judaism
had made the same changes. Pastor
Kaufman also led in the reading of
Rabbi Abraham Heschel's "No Religion
Is An Island!'
The evening ended with a joint
kiddush sponsored by both congre-
gations. At the kiddush, members
of both congregations spoke of how
much they had enjoyed the service
and their hope that this would become
an annual event. L;
