Performances that are part of the Detroit Medical Orchestra’s regular concert season are always FREE and open to all in the community, giving the gift of music to thousands of appreciative
concert-goers over the past several years. The Detroit Medical Orchestra is a nonprofit community symphony orchestra staffed by musicians comprised of medical professionals, healthcare
students, and friends who share the group’s mission of bringing healing through music.
This activity is supported in part by the Michigan Arts and Culture Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.
The Detroit Medical Orchestra would like to give thanks and appreciation for the generosity of the Zipser
Foundation and many others for their continued support of the performance arts.
Our curriculum is written for our school by our Rabbis and Director of Youth and Family Learning. Each grade level has specific goals and learning targets that encompass the following areas:
Learning and practicing Jewish rituals, holidays, and ethical actions, emphasizing how these observances connect individuals to Jewish tradition and community.
Fostering a connection to Israel by exploring its geography, history, and significance as the Jewish homeland.
Centering on learning and understanding Torah stories, characters, and teachings, and applying their lessons to daily life.
Emphasizing the importance of ethical behavior, acts of kindness (Gemilut Chasadim), and fulfilling obligations like Tzedakah (charity).
Exploring the meaning and practice of prayer, teaching students how to communicate with God and understand the significance of different prayers.
Focusing on learning the Hebrew alphabet, vocabulary, and basic reading skills to engage with Jewish texts and prayers.
Each grade level explores these themes through engaging and age-appropriate lessons. Teachers use a variety of teaching methods and resources, including the Chai Curriculum.
We are fortunate to have a dedicated team of professional Jewish educators. Our teachers receive weekly planning time, during which they use our curriculum and learning goals to craft engaging lesson plans. They benefit from regular coaching and feedback from our Director of Youth and Family Learning and participate in ongoing professional development throughout the year. Our educators are passionate about their students and committed to their growth and success.
