Shaarey Zedek rabbis
host "Dad's Night Out"
to discuss the meaning
of being a Jewish man.
IN
hat does it mean to be a
Jewish man? That was the
conversation hosted recently
by Rabbis Joseph Krakoff and Aaron
Starr of Congregation Shaarey Zedek in
the second annual "Tequila and Talmud:
Dad's Night Out" event held at the 7
Ultra Lounge and Restaurant in West
Bloomfield.
Participants enjoyed each other's
company and took the opportunity to
glean advice from sources ancient and
modern about what it means to be a
Jewish man in the 21st century.
Jeff and Dr. Stephanie Linden spon-
sored the evening.
A "Martinis and Mishna: Mom's Night
Out" is planned for May. 17

over 25 years ago to address the emerging
needs of women who must become the
primary breadwinner after divorce, sepa-

spouse or other unforeseen situations.
The program provides employment
counseling, computer training and
emotional support to help these women
uncover their skills, hidden talents and
the meaningful ways they can contribute
to the workforce. II
