JTot Detroit: Megillah for Munchkins   
Wednesday, February 28, 5:30 to 7:00 pm    
We invite our JTot Detroit families to join us at the synagogue (in costume, of course) for a special tot Purim celebration with activities, stories, treats, and pizza! To RSVP, please email Vicki. 
 
 
Purim: The Whole Megillah!  
Wednesday, February 28, 7:00 to 8:30 pm    
Join the Downtown Synagogue at our annual community reading of the Megillah for the holiday of Purim to commemorate the defeat of Haman's (BOOOOO!) plot to get rid of the Jews, foiled by the heroic and dazzling Esther (YAAAAAY!). Come in costume, bring a box of kosher pasta to use as a grogger - all to be donated to Yad Ezra after Purim. Hamantashen and beverages will be provided.
 

SAVE THE DATE: Join us for an interfaith seder with Bethel Community Transformation Center and JCRC/AJC at the Downtown Synagogue on Sunday, March 25 from 4-6pm!
 
New Ways to Get to the Downtown Synagogue!

Get Involved!
 
Green the Synagogue!
 If you are interested in being part of an effort to make our synagogue more environmentally sustainable, please contact Rabbi Silverman.

 Help Us Cook!
We're always seeking volunteers to help us in the kitchen! We pride ourselves on our delicious home cooked Shabbat and Lunch and Learn meals. If you want to contribute to the synagogue by cooking, please contact our Kitchen Coodinator to get on the schedule.

Clean House!
As we work to clean up and clear out in our Synagogue, we ask your cooperation. If you notice a spill, please wipe it up. If you drop crumbs, please clean them up. If you use the kitchen, please clean up. If you have extra papers or handouts, please take them home to recycle them, or, if needed, leave them in the designated box in the library for ritual burial. Just a reminder: please no food or drinks (other than water) are allowed on the 2nd floor. As we continue to create our welcoming communal home, please help us to keep it inviting. As the saying goes, "it takes a village."

Shabbat services every Saturday morning at 10:00 am
Rabbi Silverman leads services the first and second Saturdays of every month
Where would Jews be without the Torah? Torah is the center of our Saturday Shabbat service. It is a mitzvah to make a minyan so we can read the Torah and people can say kaddish. Please come to the Saturday morning Shabbat service at 10:00. We want to pass the Torah l'dor vador.

Contact us if you have questions or requests pertaining to our service schedule.
