One was for cleaning the 
dressing room at the dance 
venue.
Another was for doing 
the hair and makeup for 
Tamar Sigler, a dancer from 
Israel. Tamar was at the 
Maccabi Games with her 
mother, Maayan Sigler.
As for the third Midot 
Medal, “all the dance 
coaches were called 
on stage to receive a 
medal because of the 
great camaraderie and 
sportsmanship among the 
dancers,” Lemberg said.
“Unless you knew 
them, you couldn’t tell 
which dancers were from 
Detroit and which dancers 
were from San Diego, for 
example. Everyone was 
rooting for one another.”
Lemberg was supposed 
to be an assistant coach for 
the Detroit dancers at the 
2020 Maccabi Games.
“We had one rehearsal. 

That’s it,” she said.
The Maccabi Games 
were cancelled that year 
because of the COVID-19 
pandemic.
There were no Maccabi 
Games in 2021 either 
because of the pandemic. 
There were no Detroit 
dancers nor rehearsals in 
2021.
“When I got an 
opportunity to coach and 
be a chaperone at this 
year’s Maccabi Games, of 
course, I took it,” Lemberg 
said.
Lemberg is going into 
her senior year at Michigan 
State University. The dance 
and marketing major has 
a career goal of being a 
dance choreographer.
She’s the executive 
director of the Orchesis 
Dance Company at MSU.
