As a member of the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue (Downtown Synagogue), it was gratifying to pass by newsstands and see a feature about the congregation this week in
​The Detroit News. The story provided an overview of the congregation, including its history and recent revival.

Here are a few highlights from the piece: 

- The Downtown Synagogue formed in 1921 and has been at its current location in Downtown Detroit’s Capital Park neighborhood since the early 1960s. The striking
four-story building with multicolored windows is located at 1457 Griswold in Detroit.
 
- It is the only Jewish place of worship owned by a Jewish congregation in Detroit, and there are 300 member households. The synagogue began its resurgence about 10 years ago when a group of young people became involved and took on leadership roles. The congregation is now a fixture of Jewish life in Detroit, as more Jews have come to live and work in the city in recent years. 
 
- A component of the synagogue's comeback is Rabbi Ariana Silverman, its first rabbi in
​16 years. She was recently hired to tend to the congregation’s spiritual needs, as well as build relationships with churches in Detroit. At present, she is the only rabbi serving a synagogue in the City of Detroit.
