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.” ■
