If you would like to be on the Simcha Davening e-mail list to receive reminders and announcements of changes in schedule, they would be delighted to add you to their list –e-mail David Saperstein dms@maddinhauser.com and tell him you heard about Simcha Davening through the USCJ Great Lakes & Rivers Region website

Perhaps your new year’s resolution this year is to learn the Carlebach melodies. Perhaps you would like to share your insights of Torah. Or perhaps someone you know would be the perfect person to lead services or delivering a d’var Torah. As this is a participatory service, the organizers of Simcha Davening welcome your suggestions on participants or other aspects of the service. For more info and/or to be placed on the Simcha Davening e-mail list, contact David Saperstein via e-mail DMS@maddinhauser.com or Rabbi Eric Yanoff via e-mail eyanoff@shaareyzedek.org.

SHTIEBL MINYAN @ Adat Shalom Synagogue, 29901 Middlebelt Road, Farmington Hills (between Northwestern Highway and 13 Mile Road) –This is a lay-led, participatory, informal service in the Shiffman Family Chapel (while regular, more formal Shabbat service takes place in the sanctuary), geared mainly for people who already know their way around the siddur and would like to daven together in a more intimate setting than is possible in the larger space. Traditional nusah predominates, but Carlebach tunes and other contemporary arrangements are frequently blended in. The Shtiebl Minyan reads the entire Torah portion for that Shabbat; the service also includes a brief D'var Torah and the complete Haftarah as well as other rubrics of the Shabbat service. All welcome. For more info, including Shtiebl Minyan dates this fall,e-mail Dan Shere: dshere1234@yahoo.com.

SHABBAT LIMUD @ Cong. Beth Ahm, 5075 W. Maple Road, West Bloomfield – Once a month, Friday night services featuring participatory singing for Kabbalat Shabbat, led by Howie Lupovitch with back-up harmonies provide by Ronn Nadis, Rebecca and Emily Nadis, blending traditional and contemporary melodies. All welcome. Shabbat Limud services are followed by a congregational Shabbat dinner (for which reservations are required) and an after-dinner learning session (teachers and topics vary). Shabbat Limud also offers “Tot Shabbat” services for children ages 2 to 7 and child care through the evening, including during the adult learning program. For more info, including other upcoming Shabbat Limud dates and program content, call Tessa Goldberg at 248.851.6880 or e-mail director@cbahm.org.
