Mark your calendars for special guest musician at Shabbat

Gabriel Meyer Halevy will lead a special Kabbalat Shabbat and share his inspiring personal story on February 27 at 7:30 p.m. Rabbi Danan calls Gabriel, "one of the most musical, creative, and loving peacemakers you will ever get to meet. My late mother was very fond of Gabriel for his spirit and his music. Therefore, I'm delighted that the Betty and Charles Hilton Fund is sponsoring his visit, and thank congregants who have contributed to make it possible." Gabriel was born and raised in Argentina, son and disciple of the legendary human rights activist Rabbi Marshall T. Meyer, a student of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel. Gabriel is founder of the Sulha project for grassroots, person-to-person peacemaking. He has studied, traveled & practiced Sacred Traditions, healing wisdom, music & dance through the Middle East (Jordan,Turkey, Egypt) Europe, Brazil, Ireland, Africa (East Africa, Zimbabwe, Morrocco, Ghana) India & Native America (north, central & south). Gabriel lives in Beit Yannai, a Moshav in Israel.

Note: Prof. Irv Schiffman's talk on the Israeli elections (previously scheduled for 2/27) has been rescheduled for March 20, the Shabbat after those elections.
