before summer vacation. The first was
for residents of the Danto Family
Health Care Center and the second
for senior adults living at the
Fleishman Residence.
Decked out in Hawaiian-style shirts
of red, orange and gold, the entertain-
ers want to create a mood that warms
up their audiences while remaining
informal enough for everyone to feel
comfortable about singing, clapping
or just moving to the beat.
The seniors heard a program that
included A Night in the Garden of
Eden, Spirits Delight and The People of
Israel Live. Instead of the usual birth-
day song, they played Mazel Toy for a
woman marking her special day.
"It was a very rousing perfor-
mance," said Fleischman resident
Lorraine Nesselson as the performers
passed out juice and cookies in the
Fleishman atrium. "I liked their
enthusiasm and could tell that they
enjoyed what they were doing."
The Kids-Klez Band was included
in Temple Beth El's Jazz Shabbat,
which headlined the very professional
New Orleans Klezmer All-Stars, and
at the opening of the temple's Torah
writing project. Next season, the band
will be at shopping centers offering
Chanukah medleys.
Michael Schonberger, 17, a West
Bloomfield High School student,
traces his klezmer interests to religion
and music. "I love the temple, and
I've always loved klezmer music," the
Jewish folk music of eastern Europe,
said Michael, who plays the saxo-
phone as well as several other instru-
ments. "I've helped the cantor as an
assistant conductor."
Flutist David Silver, 12, a member
of Temple Israel, is the only player
who doesn't belong to Beth El. "I like
going places to perform," said David,
who attends Bloomfield-Hills' West
Hills Middle School in West
Bloomfield, where he also plays in the
school band. "The cantor's fun, and I
like being with friends."
Cantor Dubov organized the
band last fall after asking for parrici-'
pants in the temple newsletter and
the Jewish News. The group rehears 7
es between 5 and 6 p.m. every
Monday during the school year, and
rehearsals are open to any young
person who's had a year of instru-
mental lessons.
"The kids are so inspired, and it's
gone beyond what I thought it
would," said Cantor Dubov, who
holds a bachelor's degree in music
education and a master's degree in
sacred music. "I'm hoping to get more
string players next year."
Whitney Aidenbaum, the only vio-
linist and only female in the band,
likes the upbeat music and the experi-
ence of working with other young
musicians away from school. "I like
learning new songs, and I hope to
keep playing just for fun," said
Whitney, 11, a student at Orchard
Lake Middle School in West
Bloomfield.
Parents have some deeper reasons
for enjoying and supporting the band.
Marc Zupmore likes seeing the young-
sters work together in a responsible
way. Gail Posner is glad they are get-
ting an appreciation for Jewish music,
which now Fills her home. Debbie
Silver finds a closer connection with
grandparents.
"This band helps the kids under-
stand their heritage," said Sandra
Wedes.
