Hidary grew up on Manhattan's
culturally diverse Upper West Side. Her
experiences as a Sephardic Jew with

to fostering understanding and friend-
ship between people.

ent "An Evening of Stories and Spoken

addition to, traditional services.

Weintraub Fogel of West Bloomfield, and
Phyllis Pilcowitz of Bloomfield Hills.
The community is welcome to all of
the services and programs at no charge,

for which there is a charge. Dinner reser-
vations are required by Friday, Jan. 8. Call
