Friendships and relationships require time to grow (even at the leadership level), but Weiner is excited about the prospects. The past president of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Metropolitan Detroit has some Chaldean friends who go back 20 years. "This is a wonderful opportunity for Southeast Michigan to demon- strate that different religious groups can come together as neighbors, col- leagues, clients and friends:' she said. "If friendships and better understand- ing between the groups were the only result, it would be enough; but much, much more is happening, and I find it very gratifying." Real Change When Building Community was launched, the JN's Horwitz and the Chaldean News' Manna could not have imagined the amount of interest and support their newspapers would receive for the effort. "It seems that with each month- ly installment of the Building Community content that appears in our publications:' Horwitz said, "addi- tional ideas for collaboration emerge. "Most of the ideas and desire to participate come from the grassroots level, a sign that we are fundamentally changing the ways these two com- munities will interact for years, and perhaps decades, to come."

Participants will gain an understanding of the architecture, symbol- ism, usability, history and culture of each community's central facilities — Shenandoah Country Club and the Jewish Community Center. Both are located in West Bloomfield. The night begins at 6 p.m. at Shenandoah for wine, hors d'oeuvres and a tour of the facility by its architect, Victor Saroki of Birmingham. Shenandoah is owned by the Chaldean Iraqi American Association of Michigan (CIAAM) and is a favorite gathering place among community members. At 7:30, participants will drive to the Jewish Community Center for a tour by JCC Executive Director Mark Lit and architect Joel Smith, whose firm Neumann/Smith Associates of Southfield designed the Frankel Jewish Academy of Metropolitan Detroit and the under-construction Berman Center for the Performing Arts, both part of the JCC building complex. Coffee and a sampling of Jewish-inspired sweets at the JCC round out the evening, which concludes at 9 p.m. Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door. Send checks payable to the Jewish Community Center to the JCC, 6600 W. Maple Road, West Bloomfield, MI 48322. Learn more by calling Avita Bacall at (248) 681- 5050 or Monika Whale, (248) 432-5419. The Arts & Culture Committee is headed by Mary Romaya and Barbara Kratchman.
