Bahrain Ambassador Cancels Ambassador Houda Nonoo, a Jewish diplomat from the Arab country of Bahrain, scheduled to appear at the Jewish Community Center in West Bloomfield on June 25, has been forced to cancel her appearance because of diplomatic responsibilities. In place of the ambassador's presen- tation, the West Bloomfield JCC will show the film Persepolis at 7:30 p.m. Persepolis, nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and a jury prizewinner at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, is based on Marjane Satrapi's autobiographical graphic novel about a girl coming of age dur- ing the Iranian revolution. Those who purchased tickets to hear Houda Nonoo who do not wish to see Persepolis may instead choose tickets to any Lenore Marwil Jewish Film Festival screening or a selected event presented by the JCC's Seminars for Adult Jewish Enrichment or have their money refunded.

The Mini-School, a project of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, is the largest pluralistic adult Jewish educa- tion network in the world. Locally, it is sponsored by Federation's Alliance for Jewish Education and the Jewish Community Center of Metropolitan Detroit. The graduates are part of 3,000 students in 60 sites around the world attending graduation ceremonies this month. Over the last seven years, 700 adults in the Detroit Jewish community have completed the Melton Program. The evening was a culmination of the study of Jewish history, ethics, philoso- phy, customs and rituals. Judy Loebl, director of the Mini- School of Metropolitan Detroit, talked about the graduates as role models for their family and friends. Rabbi Judah Isaacs, director of Federation's Alliance for Jewish Education, chal- lenged them to become ambassadors throughout the community to cham- pion the cause of Jewish education. Keynote speaker was instructor Rabbi Michele Faudem, who recently relocated to Houston. New Melton classes, including classes for young adults and parents with young children, will be starting in the fall. For information, call (248) 642-4260, ext. 372, or at jewishde- troit.org/melton.
