COURTESY LEONARD N. SIMONS JEWISH COMMUNITY ARCHIVES. MJAC Annual Event Seventy politically conservative Jews gathered to meet Rabbi Yitz Tendler at Michigan Jewish Action Council’ s annual membership event. Tendler is a young conservative and has succeeded in identifying and nurturing future leaders from among young Jewish conservatives. Trips he has led to Israel have shaped the outlook and skills of current aides to con- gressmen and ambassadors. The annual CPAC convention, though not a Jewish event, draws conservative Jews from throughout the country. Rabbi Tendler has turned it into a Jewish networking opportunity by organizing a Shabbaton that runs concurrent with the convention. Following up on these meetings, he co-founded Young Jewish Conservatives. COURTESY OF MJAC Rabbi Yitz Tendler Jewish Family Service is planning its 23rd annual Fall Fix Up on Sunday, Nov. 10. The annual event serves homebound older adults by preparing their homes for winter. This year, there are three ways to help. Families and people of all ages are invited to meet at Congregation Shaarey Zedek in Southfield for 9:30 a.m. registra- tion, breakfast and supply pickup. Young adults are invited to meet at B’ nai David Cemetery, 9535 Van Dyke in Detroit, at 10 a.m. to help clean up the grounds in part- nership with NEXTGen, Repair the World, The Well and Hillel of Metro Detroit. Students in sixth-12th grades are invited to meet at Adat Shalom Synagogue in Farmington Hills at 1 p.m. for an afternoon Fall Fix Up in partnership with J-Serve. Participants will travel to pre- assigned sites. Register for any of the three ses- sions by Nov. 1 at jfsdetroit.org. Fall Fix Up Time Fall Fix Up Time The children’ s story experts at PJ Library expand their engaging offerings for children with the launch of the podcast “Have I Got a Story for You!” The podcast lifts classic Jewish folk tales from the page, gives them a modern twist and brings them to life for families seeking an entertaining, enriching diversion from digital life. “Have I Got a Story for You!” will initially launch with three stories: “Two Sisters,” about a pair of siblings who are best friends, alike in every way — except that one has really bad allergies; “The Truth About Cats and Dogs,” which follows the friendship between the first of their species in the time of Adam and Eve, based on an old story from the Middle Ages; and, the hilarious “Moon Station One,” which takes place 70 years in the future on a crowded moon base, a story that ultimately teaches children about gratitude. Eight more streaming episodes will post on Tuesdays throughout the fall at pjlibrary.org/podcast. PJ Library Launches Podcast
