Medical Forum Theme:
Stem Cell Research
The Jewish Parents Institute and
the Jewish Community Center of
Metropolitan Detroit will host
"Science, Ethics, Questions and
Hope: A Forum on Stem Cell
Research" at 7 p.m. Wednesday,
April 21, at the Jewish Community
Center in West Bloomfield.
This communitywide forum,
moderated by Oakland County
Treasurer Andy Meisner, will
examine the political, scientific,
legislative, economic and ethi-
cal issues surrounding stem cell
research.
The panelists include Ellen
Cogen Lipton, state represen-
tative of the 27th district; Ed
of other teachers, developing effective
teaching strategies within a sound,
but progressive curriculum.
Like Hillel's K-8 program, the ECC
will offer a warm, nurturing and sup-
portive environment with the advan-
tage of being part of a K-8 school.
The Hillel ECC will benefit from a
math specialist, a science specialist, a
Jewish studies director and a Hebrew
language coordinator as well as the
support of the school's other teachers
and administrators.
In other ECC developments:
• Hillel has hired its first full-time
early childhood educators, Helayne
Shaw and Barbara Dworin.
• Congregation Beth Ahm in West
Bloomfield has joined Congregation
Shaarey Zedek in collaboration with
Hillel's ECC. Hillel will serve as the
early childhood center for both syna-
gogues, with the close involvement of
rabbis from both congregations.
• For the 2010-11 school year,
Hillel's kindergarten tuition will be
set at $10,000 per student, discount-
ed from the full tuition of $16,140.
For families enrolling their children
in the Hillel Day School ECC for the
2010-11 school year, an equivalent
percentage discount from the full
tuition will be guaranteed when
the child completes the preschool
program and transitions into Hillel's
kindergarten. E
