OUR CHILD'S Dorfman's "Klezmer Sketch" piece, which draws upon her heritage as the child of Holocaust survivors, was a particular favorite of the 550 patrons in the audience. "While there are references to pain, this piece is about the joy" of Eastern European Jewish life before the war," Dorfman said. Dr. Lynda Giles added: "We are delighted to be among the sponsors tonight because the [Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit's] Alliance for Jewish Education believes that cultural arts are integral to strengthening Jewish identity." Giles is Alliance co-chair with Robert Naftaly. 1 Kadima Benefit Kadima presents "Laughing Always Matters" 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 17, at the Detroit Opera House.
