Engaging with the Community
Through its extensive community service programs, Mesivta inspires its students to embrace their responsibilities to the Jewish community. Year-round and holiday initiatives benefit thousands within the greater Detroit Jewish community and fosters students’ sense of giving and leadership.
Our alumni continue this mission, serving as role models and educators who inspire, engage, and uplift Jewish communities the world over.

In addition to its academic and recreational activities, the Mesivta offers a special Summer Leadership Program. The program provides students with unique opportunities to develop leadership skills through engaging guest speakers, interactive workshops, and real-world experiences.
