Diverse Concert Series Will
Connect People Of Different Faiths

Music will link members of
different faith communi-
ties at an interfaith coffee
concert series beginning
Sunday, Jan. 21.
Amy Saari, jazz pianist,
singer and songwriter, will
perform with an accom-
panying group of singers
from 4 to 6 p.m. at the
Muslim Center of Detroit.
The concert series is pre-
Amy Saari
sented by the InterFaith
Leadership Council of Metropolitan
Detroit and the Detroit Interfaith
Outreach Network (DION).
The Muslim Center is located at
1605 W. Davison at the corner of
Woodrow Wilson Street in Detroit. It
was chosen as the first concert venue
because of its Jazz Café, a unique fea-
ture for a mosque, which was created
to honor a member who performed
in Count Basie’s orchestra.
Amy Saari is an interfaith music
minister with choirs at several local
congregations. She also performs in a
cabaret jazz trio, Ladybones.
“The InterFaith Leadership Council
of Metropolitan Detroit strives to
build connections between different
faiths, and cultural activities provide

an enjoyable way to
do that,” says Robert
Bruttell, chairman.
“We are pleased to
join with DION to
present this concert
series.”
“Music is a way to
transcend differences
and is a unifying
method to learn from
each other and appre-
ciate one another’s
background,” explains Rabbi Dorit
Edut, founder of DION. “The music
series introduces our groups to a
variety of styles, from jazz to classi-
cal to folk. And there will be time to
socialize afterwards, too.”
Concert tickets can be purchased
in advance for $8 by check or money
order to: DION, P.O. Box 70112,
Huntington Woods, MI 48070. Tickets
will be sold at the door for $10 and
refreshments will be available for
purchase.
Concertgoers are asked to bring
a non-perishable food item for
the mosque’s Feed the Homeless
Program. Additional information
is available at (248) 556-6316 or at

Business Connectors of
Birmingham, a chapter of the
Business Network International
(BNI) group, recently held an auc-
tion, with proceeds of $822 going to
BBYO in memory of Jerry Kantor, a
longtime member of the group who
died Dec. 15.
Petra Kowalis, event coordinator,
said the amount was enough to send

Cantor Leonard Gutman — the
Healing Service is a gentle oppor-
tunity for healing, renewal and the
uplifting of spirits through music
and prayer.
The Healing Service, which will last
about 30 minutes, is free and open to
the community — those in need of
healing and their caregivers as well.
For more information, contact the
synagogue office at (248) 357-5544. •

trip. The auction had already been
planned, but the group wanted to
honor Kantor with something they
knew he would appreciate because
he was a champion of BBYO.
Kowalis urges others to contribute
to BBYO in Kantor’s memory as well.
To donate, call Jennifer Frank at
