Yeshiva Beth Yehudah

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yeshiva Beth Yehudah is a Jewish day school consisting of two campuses at Southfield and Oak Park, Michigan, which serves boys and girls from pre-kindergarten to grade 12 (the boys' school only goes through grade 8). The school's curriculum is a blend of traditional and progressive, secular studies and religious studies, in Hebrew and English. The school also includes the Norma Jean & Edward Meer Early Childhood Development Center next to the boys' school. The Yeshiva is known locally for its annual fund raising dinner, organized and held by Gary H. Torgow at the Detroit Renaissance Center, which usually features a guest speaker of national prominence. Previous guests include Hillary Clinton, Condoleezza Rice, John McCain, and George Stephanapoulos. Many of the area's most prominent political figures have attended the dinner, including Governor Jennifer Granholm, former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, the Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox, national and state congressmen, and Michigan supreme court justices.
