Metro-Detroit Jewish Senior Prom

Let’s come together for the first ever Metro- Detroit Jewish Senior Prom at
the former Durfee Middle School! Durfee Middle School had a large Jewish
student population in the 40s-80s and has been repurposed into a community hub
for non-profits (including Repair the World) and will surely spark many
memories of the past.

On **_June 9th from 2-4pm_** we will welcome seniors community wide and
residents from JSL to nosh, dance, and take part in a memorable occasion! To
celebrate the beauty of our Jewish history and **highlight intergenerational
community we will welcome all (9th grade and up) to join** in on the fun and
support such an incredible moment!

As part of the festivities, guests will have the chance to enjoy kosher treats
while reminiscing about the past and sipping on nostalgia in the historic
setting (some of whom will surely be Durfee alums)! **School dance attire is
totally welcomed but not required!** Reboot will be plugging in their Silver
Screen Studio project, offering attendees the opportunity to share and compare
their childhood stories and Repair the World will have a service project
opportunity focused on literacy equality in Detroit to honor the value of
Tikkun O’lam.

**This event will not be possible without the support of volunteers** , we
ask that **if you are attending as a non-senior attendee, and are able to,
please sign up as a attendee that can volunteer,** volunteer ****roles will be
specified in a sign-up genius prior to the event. **All attendees that
volunteer will still have the chance to enjoy the event, nosh, dance and
socialize as roles will be in shifts.** Some of these tasks will include:
event set up, clean up, greeting/assisting seniors into the building, keeping
the groove going on the dance floor, and more!

Organized by: Repair The World, Jewish Family Service of Metro Detroit, Jewish
Senior Life of Metropolitan Detroit, Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue, Reboot,
The Well
