Kol Ami To Honor
Rabbi Roman's 25th
Rabbi Norman Roman has led Temple Kol Ami in West
Bloomfield for 25 years, helping the synagogue find its
niche as a welcoming, inclusive, participatory mainstream
Reform congregation. A concert by Jewish music super-
stars Craig Taubman and Josh Nelson on Sunday, May 1,
will honor the rabbi who himself is known for his guitar
playing and services that are a nice mix of contemporary
and traditional music.
For more, see story on page 12.

anya Feldman joined the Resistance and derailed
German trains. Eva Wimmer and her five sisters
were imprisoned and reduced to walking skeletons.
Shirley Radin was a child when a Gestapo soldier pointed a
gun at her head.
These indomitable women, now all living in West
Bloomfield, whose lives were ravaged by cruelty and rebuilt
with love and hope, are commemorated in a new exhibit
that opens Sunday, May 1, at the Holocaust Memorial Center
Zekelman Family Campus. The exhibit dedication follows the
annual community Yom HaShoah program.
