Enjoy Israeli folk dancing? Join
Metro Detroit Israeli Folk Dancing, a
group of enthusiasts who meet every
Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at CelyFit, 33008
Northwestern Hwy., West Bloomfield.
Each drop-in session costs $10, with
no registration needed.
The second and fourth Tuesdays are
for women only.
The classes are the brainchild of
community educators Rochelle Morais
of Farmington Hills and Melissa Ser
of West Bloomfield. Morais provides
special education services at Farber
Hebrew Day School and teach-
es Hebrew at Temple Israel. Ser is
education director at Adat Shalom
Synagogue.
“We always start with easy dances,
and if we have a newcomer to Israeli
dance, we teach three easy dances,”
Morais said. “Then we do some harder
ones. We encourage newcomers to stay
and try to follow. They slowly pick it
up by coming and watching.”
Morais estimates there are thousands
of dances in the genre, choreographed
by Israelis and non-Israelis, but many
are rarely performed. The oldies are
very repetitive and easy to learn, she
said. Some of the newer dances are
much more complex. New dances are
created every year, usually to Israeli
pop music tunes.
Morais said Metro Detroit Israeli
Dance has a regular repertoire of 30 to
40 dances, but she and Ser are always
looking for new ones. Teaching videos
are frequently posted online.
Morais and Ser met 20 years ago
when both were living in Rochester,
N.Y., and reconnected after both
resettled in Detroit. Check the group’
s
Facebook page, Metro Detroit Israeli
Dance, for more information. ■

Two former homeland security
secretaries will co-chair a task force
convened by national Jewish organi-
zations aimed at tracking anti-reli-
gious violence.
The task force, announced April
2, is a joint project of the Anti-
Defamation League and Secure
Community Network, a Jewish
self-defense initiative.
Its co-chairs are Jeh Johnson,
the Homeland Security secretary
under President Barack Obama, and
Michael Chertoff, who held the job
under President George W. Bush,
and is Jewish.
The initiative arose after the
attack on a Pittsburgh synagogue
complex in October that killed
11 Jewish worshippers, the worst
anti-Jewish attack in U.S. history.
“The task force will develop best
practices to increase coordination
and cooperation related to inci-
dent tracking, information sharing,
reporting and addressing threats,” a
joint ADL-SCN release said.
The Trump administration’
s
Homeland Security Department
recently disbanded an intelligence
unit that tracked right-wing vio-
lence, drawing criticism from
groups that track hate crimes.
“This move defies logic,” said
Jonathan A. Greenblatt, ADL’
s CEO
and national director, about the
closing of the Homeland Security
branch focused on domestic terror-
ism. “The current administration
has been chipping away at our
nation’
s ability to address a deadly
serious national security threat:
right-wing extremism. To simply
disregard this threat, especially after
what we witnessed in Pittsburgh,
Charlottesville, Charleston and
even overseas in Christchurch, New
Zealand, could put lives at risk.” ■
