Learn How ORT Is Changing Lives In Israel
Please view the short video above about World ORT’s mega project in Kiryat Yam, Israel, made possible in large part by the Shoenbaum Family, as well as our very own D. Dan Kahn. It shows how ORT’s Kadima Mada (Science Journey) initiative has dramatically changed and revolutionized the education system in this town, benefitting over 1,000 children ages 12-18 years old. The D. Dan and Betty Kahn Science Center offers state of the art technology, including smart classrooms and advanced science laboratories. The impact from this project has been tremendous, and this campus now serves as a model for similar ORT projects in other cities across Israel.

There are so many ways to support ORT right here in Michigan. Call our metro Detroit office at (248) 723-8860 or contact our director, Nicole Miller, today.
ORT America Michigan Region, offers four annual major metro Detroit fundraisers:
- Trends with Friends
- WINGO
- Rub-a-Dub
- Camp Hermelin
- Numerous other programs throughout the year
These programs raise money to support the ORT schools and programs in 55 countries worldwide. At these events, individuals, couples and families of all ages come together to socialize and to learn about the great and important work ORT has been doing since 1880.
And without the skills a person gains in an ORT school – like our very own hometown ORT program, the David B. Hermelin ORT Resource Center – it is virtually impossible to make it in the world. ORT focuses on helping people become self-sufficient in every aspect of the word.
Fresh Faces
Michigan ORT recruits new members and ideas.

Blending time-honored traditions with contemporary concerns can be difficult for any organization, especially one that has been around for more than a century. The Michigan Region of ORT America is meeting this challenge with fresh leadership, a newly formed advisory committee, and a restructured board that combines proven experience with youthful energy.
