A delightful summer day trip. We will visit the Jewish communities of southwest Michigan to learn about their settlement and development, guided by Leah Axelrod, the CJHS tour maven. First, a stop at Benton Harbor's Temple B'nai Sholom and the Jewish cemetery. Then a tour of Mary's City of David, the unique communal colony recently placed on the National Register of Historic Places, where we will be served a vegetarian lunch. We will visit South Haven, known as "the Catskills of the Midwest" by Jewish Chicagoans seeking fresh air and fun in the days before AC and TV. Today it is again a thriving summer destination (those beaches, those peaches, those blueberries!) as well as home to a permanent year-round Jewish community. Be sure to pack a meal or a snack to enjoy at our last stop, Sinai Temple in Michigan City, Indiana, where Rabbi Reni Dickman will welcome us.
