"Who Are We? Who are the Candidates?
And Why Does it Matter?" will be the focus
of a candidates forum for Michigan's 14th
congressional district at 3:30 p.m. Sunday,
July 1, at Congregation Shaarey Zedek in
Southfield. Stephen Henderson, editorial
page editor of the Detroit Free Press, will
moderate the program.
The forum provides an opportunity
to learn about the candidates running in
the newly established 14th district, which
stretches from Pontiac, West Bloomfield
and Farmington Hills, eastward across the
northern tier of Detroit and into the Grosse
Pointes, and then southward to include
Downtown and southwest Detroit.
The Civic Engagement Coalition (CEC),
a new group composed of organizations
representing the urban, suburban, ethnic,
racial and religious diversity of the district,
is presenting the event.
Invited candidates are Rep. Hansen
Clarke (Democrat), Bob Costello
(Democrat), John Hauler (Republican),
Southfield Mayor Brenda Lawrence

(Democrat), Rep. Gary Peters (Democrat)
and Mary Waters (Democrat).
Not invited was Libertarian Leonard
Schwartz, the only Jewish candidate in the
race, because there was no Libertarian
Party primary, according to Allan Gale of
the Jewish Community Relations Council
(JCRC).
"They invited the Republican candi-
date to speak even though he is running
unopposed in the August primary," said
Schwartz. "Their refusal to let me speak is
unfair."
Partners of the CEC are the JCRC
Ameinu, B'nai Brith, Congregations Beth
Ahm, Beth Shalom, Shaarey Zedek and Shir
Tikvah, Council of Islamic Organizations
of Michigan, Hadassah, Jewish Community
Relations Council, Jewish Labor Committee,
League of Women Voters, Metro Coalition
of Congregations, Michigan Voice, National
Council of Jewish Women, Temples Beth El,
Emanu-El, Kol Ami and Shir Shalom, and
Workmen's Circle.
For information about the forum, con-
tact Allan Gale at the Jewish Community
Relations Council, (248) 642-2641.

'The Messiah' Is Topic
Of Adult Lecture Series
Professor Howard Lupovitch will present
a series of July lectures beginning 7:30
p.m. Tuesday, July 10, at Congregation
Beth Ahm in West Bloomfield. The series
will continue on Tuesday nights.
Lupovitch will explore the Jewish
belief in the Messiah and the Messianic
Age in all of its complexities and how
this belief has helped Judaism survive
for centuries. He'll examine how rabbinic
scholars imagined the Messianic Age,
the strategies they suggested to hasten
its arrival, and the relationship between
the creation of the State of Israel and the
advent of the Messianic Age.
The lectures include:
July 10: "Messiah or False Messiah:
How Can We Tell the Difference?"
July 17: "Yemot haMashiach: What Will
Life Be Like When the Messiah Arrives?"
