7:00 p.m.  “The Bitter and The Sweet: Campus Anti-Semitism and Beautiful Music” will be the topic of Shabbat services, led by Rabbi Rachlis and Cantor Braier, during which “The Shabbatones,” a Jewish musical group from the University of Pennsylvania, will perform during Shabbat services and they will speak about anti-Semitism on Penn’s campus and what they are doing to challenge it.  This evening of Jewish music will include one of the leaders of the group, University Synagogue member, Beaue Bernstein, daughter of Gideon Bernstein and Jeanne Pepper, and sister of Blaze Bernstein, who was murdered six years ago by a homophobic anti-Semite.  We’ll learn about their fears as well as their resolve to stand up for Jews and Judaism at this difficult time.  We want everyone to attend this wonderful performance and discussion. If you are an alumnus/alumna of the University of Pennsylvania, please email Rabbi Rachlis at rabbi@universitysynagogue.org because there will be a special part in the service for Penn alumni.  Sponsored by David and Evelyn Simon. Our Oneg Shabbat will be sponsored by the Gruschka and Okeke Families in honor of Maya becoming a Bat Mitzvah.
