Kids of all ages gathered on the grounds of the Detroit Zoo on July 20
to celebrate Shabbat. Rabbi Rachel Shere and Hazzan Dan Gross of Adat
Shalom Synagogue led a music-filled morning of song and prayer.
Enthusiastic participants sang and danced, listened and learned. The
clergy told stories and shared interesting facts about the animals in the
zoo and what Judaism teaches about them.

Adat Shalom’
s (animated) clergy had fun while leading services at the zoo.
Hazzan Dan explained
that during services
we often stand up and
sit down … and that’
s
just what they did.
Some brought blankets and sat on the lawn
shaded by the trees; others sat on surrounding
picnic benches in the pavilion for services on
this beautiful Saturday morning.
Hudson Issner of
West Bloomfield was
very excited with his
piece of challah.
The morning included Rabbi Rachel reading a
story about animals.
Rabbi Rachel had plenty of help with the
blessings over the wine and the challah.
