noteworthy After Saturday Comes Sunday Born in Rochester, New York, Susan Adelman is a pediatric surgeon, artist, silversmith, and author. Her latest book “After Saturday Comes Sunday” was inspired by Adelman’s 92-year-old Chaldean “mother” Norma Hakim. The book begins with the biographical story of Norma Hakim, who hails from Northern Iraq, and the biography of a Kurdish Jewish woman who is now living in Israel. Adelman writes about the history of Christians and Jews in the Middle East. “Their languages, dialects of the 3000-year-old Aramaic language, are under threat, and their homelands continuously threatened by war.” “Their stories illustrate the rich centuries-long traditions that are at risk. Can the remaining Christians and their language be saved from extinction in their very birthplace? At least the United States must extend them an umbrella of support so they may rebuild their indigenous communities and train their own militias if they ever hope to resettle safely at home, resume their traditional way of life, and raise children who speak their language.” Detroit Skating Club – Annual Ice Show The Detroit Skating Club hosted their 19th annual ice show from June 28 through July 1. This year’s them was “…And the Greatest of These is Love”. This year’s show included about 160 ice skaters across a number of age groups and skill levels – several of which were Chaldean children.
