This event takes place at Sherry Greenspan’s home. Call her at 252-1165 for directions and in formation. Enjoy! Do synagogues serve singles? Frequently being single can mean being left out — or (sometimes inadvertantly) kept out. Not intentionally made to feel unwelcome, but just not thought of. For example, synagogues periodically have special func tions organized around a theme: father and son or mother and daughter outings, young couples clubs, special events for the elderly. But how many syn agogues make real efforts to in terest and serve the unmarried members of the community? Having spoken to people who represent various synagogues around town, I was told repeatedly “Our congregation has successfully integrated the unmarried members, so we do not need to have special singles’ programs.” Are they copping out on us? Is the problem that temple- sponsored singles groups is the only kind of special program ap propriate for a synagogue? And does a special singles-only group tend to isolate the unmarried adults in the congregation? Or is it true that there is no problem? At present, I have no proposals in mind in answer to these questions. It seems to me that there must be additional, creatively different ways of making the unmarried Jew feel, as well as be, welcome. Let’s have your opinions on this subject. I would especially like to hear from congregational leaders to find out what they are doing for our segment of the population. Macon Memo Temple Beth Israel will hold an adult retreat at Camp Coleman May 27 - 29 on the theme: “Judaism Is for Adults Too.” The retreat activities will include study, worship, book reviews, movies, and guest speakers.
