ameron Warshawsky loves
to sing. The second-grader
at Havelind Elementary in
Waterford has been singing since she
could talk. "Ever since I was little, I
wanted to be a rock star; she said. "I
love to entertain people and make them
happy:'
That was the wish she shared with
Rabbi Daniel Syme of Temple Beth
El, who last year launched Angels and
Dreamers, a foundation that helps Jewish
children ages 7-11 do the mitzvahs they
wish they could do if only they had the
resources.
Syme got in touch with pianist Jim
Gabriel, the temple's accompanist and
director of vocal arts at Cranbrook, to
help Cameron plan a concert for the
residents of Meer Apartments on the
Applebaum Jewish Community Campus
in West Bloomfield.
"I thought it was wonderful that this
young lady wanted to sing to residents,
who love to have children visit," said
Myriam Cohen, program director at
Meer.
At the event, which took place Jan.
11, 9-year-old Noah Ostheimer of White
Lake emceed. Angels and Dreamers
was Noah's brainchild, and he serves as
chairman of the board. He spoke to Meer
residents about the program. "I had a
dream," he said, "to make a difference in
the world:'
With Syme's help, he was able to bring
that dream to fruition. Since the founda-
tion launched last year, children have
done many mitzvahs, including taking

a Holocaust survivor out to lunch, giv-
ing furniture to a family in need, adding
"kid love" to Temple Beth El's Mitzvah
Meals program, raking leaves and read-
ing to sick kids at the hospital. "We have
plans to do a lot more," Noah said.
Gabriel began the concert by play-
ing some selections from his new CD
Sojourn. Then Cameron sang songs from
the movie Frozen. She and Gabriel took
turns entertaining the group of 50 or so
senior citizens who attended the concert.
After the concert, residents received free
copies of Gabriel's CD and enjoyed a
cake provided by Angels and Dreamers.
It wasn't Cameron's first time singing
in front of a crowd. She sang to residents
at Meer during Chanukah and also
performed in her school's talent show
last year. Cameron, who is on the stu-
dent council, said the concert made
her "feel really good about myself. I'm
happy I'm here:'
