Chaldean Community Foundation Welcomes Temple Shir Shalom

The Chaldean Community Foundation hosted members of Temple Shir Shalom at Shenandoah Country Club on December 11 as part of its Cultural Education for Adults initiative. Following a guided tour of the Chaldean Cultural Center, participants gathered in the dining room and were divided into four small groups for a facilitated question-and-answer discussion led by Chaldean moderators.

The shared meal created space for thoughtful dialogue, cultural exchange, and personal connection, allowing guests to engage more deeply with shared history and traditions between the Jewish and Chaldean communities in Iraq and Michigan. In the spirit of continued learning, the CCF also presented each participant including Rabbi Schwartz with a book on the history of Chaldeans in Michigan. The book will be added to the Temple’s library, extending the impact of the visit beyond the day’s conversation.
