A Sweet Year
Temple Kol Ami Family Religious
School in West Bloomfield will sell

shanah tovah (a good year) to fam-
ily and friends in time for Rosh
Hashanah. The fundraiser is run
through ORT America and a portion
of the purchase is tax deductible.
Each order contains an 8-ounce
jar of kosher honey, complete with
a personalized message and can be
shipped anywhere in the world.
The gift will arrive in time for
Rosh Hashanah, which begins Sept.
18 at sundown. The cost is $9 per
jar, including shipping to anywhere

jar purchased is tax deductible.
