Everyone is thrilled to gath-
er in person once again for 
special events, programming 
and services at Temple Israel 
in West Bloomfield. More 
than 20 families with young 
children gathered under their 
outdoor pavilion for an All-
American Shabbat for Tots 
during 4th of July weekend.
Families enjoyed a full 
morning celebrating Jewish 

American pride with crafts, a 
parade, dancing and a festive 
Shabbat service led by Rabbi 
Jennifer Kaluzny and Cantor 
Neil Michaels. 
This is just one of Temple 
Israel’s many Shabbat n’ 
Schmooze summertime 
events. Still to come: Sweet 
Shabbat, Splish Splash Shabbat 
and Grandparent Shabbat, too. 
All are welcome.
