Literally meaning “separation” in Hebrew, the traditional ceremony concludes Shabbat by reminding us that a little bit of holiness remains 55 imbued in each weekday. The Temple Emanu-El Skirball Center invites you to celebrate the conclusion of Passover with an extraordinary Havdalah ceremony. Gather with new and old friends for an assortment of wines, hors d’oeuvres and desserts with special guest Idan Raichel. Israeli superstar Idan Raichel performed last summer with Alicia Keys, India Arie and Palestinian musician Ali Amir as part of Global Citizen Festival. His group, The Idan Raichel Project is internationally recognized for their cross- cultural musical collaborations and is a testament to the power of music in building bridges between hearts and cultures. Tonight, Idan will guide us through a unique creative process as he discusses the fusing of many different musical traditions and performs a few songs on the piano to best instill his universal message of love and tolerance from a region of the world marred by conflict. Like the Havdalah candle, his music kindles a spark within. QUESTIONS?

    Jews, Sports and Society Dedication. Countless hours of commitment. Sacrifice. Rising to the challenges of adversity. Maximizing one’s natural talents. A religiously-infused life and the endeavor of sports have much in common, though often come into conflict. We share with you the latest issue of YU Ideas, “Jews, Sports and Society,” featuring essays from Yeshiva University faculty and staff, and invite you to reflect on the myriad ways in which Judaism and sports have intersected, both historically and in our contemporary era. We dedicate this issue in memory of Bob Tufts, former Sy Syms School of Business Professor and former major league baseball pitcher, who boldly and passionately lived a life balancing faith and passion for sport.
