Joshua
Chynoweth

(Chaim Meir)
was called to
the Torah as a
bar mitzvah on
Saturday, Dec. 15,
at Adat Shalom
Synagogue in
Farmington Hills.
Joshua is the son of Gail and Gary
Chynoweth. Sharing in Joshua's

simchah were his sisters, Sarah,
Rebecca and Rachel. His grandpar-

Mary Block, the late Robert and the
late Joyce Chynoweth.
Joshua attends Hillel Day
School of Metropolitan Detroit in
Farmington Hills. While he par-

break them or pull them off. Gum is not recommended. Do not chew
on ice and avoid hard or sticky candies. Other foods to avoid are
again anything that is sticky, gooey or overly crunchy. Hard foods
that you have to bite with the front teeth can knock off a bracket. To
be safe, cut up apples, carrots and other food like these into small
pieces.
