or a relative or friend, let them know
about this and contact the organizers at

Becca (The Altruist), Beth (The
Realist), Bernie (The Idealist), Yael (The

The cartoon was illustrated by Jordan

GREETINGS
the Detroit Jewish News on Dec. 7, 2006.
Gorfinkel's comic brought his char-
acters to life for families with each
installment, and he is the first cartoonist
in the world to be honored in a Jewish
museum.
Until 2011, Everything's Relative illus-
trated universal issues of family, faith
and tradition from a contemporary
perspective for the readers of the Detroit
Jewish News.
