Student Activities

The Detroit Metropolitan area has a strong and vibrant Jewish community.  Nearby suburban cities such as Oak Park, Southfield, Farmington and West Bloomfield are home to numerous synangogues, several Yeshivos (Talmudic Academies), and Kollels (postgraduate fellowship based institutions).  The Metro Detroit Jewish Community Center maintains locations in Oak Park and West Bloomfield, featuring extensive communal and cultural activities as well as modern recreational facilities, including gyms, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a health and fitness center.  Metro Detroit is also home to the Holocaust Memorial Center, the first facility of its kind in the country and an excellent resource center for Holocaust studies and research.

MJI students are encouraged to participate in the many extra-curricular activities at the Institute.  Activities include an annual Holocaust symposium, Consitution Day, Holiday and Shabbaton programming and more.
