One by one, committee chairs are shoring up existing committees, reinvigorating dormant ones, collaborating Twith each other, and reaching out to congregants to help us do our sacred work. One of the Congregation’s strategic goals for volunteer, please contact Caring Committee 2018-2019 is the greater engagement of the Caring Congregational Vice Chair, Marian Allen, at 412-980- Committee. To that end, the Caring Committee has 9214, or email us at [email protected]. launched the RodefShalomCares initiative, the mission of which is: “To provide support to our members at times of hardship, illness, loss, and celebration.” Our goal is to have our volunteers partner with our Rabbis in the sacred work of performing acts of loving kindness (gemilut chasadim), visiting the sick (bikur cholim), honoring the elderly (hiddur p’nai zaken) and comforting the mourner (nichum aveilim). This initiative seeks to build on the caring work that Women of Rodef Shalom and Brotherhood have been doing for many years. All of us have been touched in some way by that caring work. In order to shore up the ways in which we give support, to reinstate some past initiatives and fill in any gaps, RodefShalomCares will support our members in a variety of ways. This year, these first steps will be taken: • Trained volunteers will visit or make caring calls to members who have been ill, experienced a loss, or just need some extra support. • Volunteers will deliver challah (and soup) for Shabbat during the first 30 days of mourning. • The Committee will bring opportunities to learn about support strategies for ourselves, our children, and our elderly loved ones. With these and other efforts,RodefShalomCares will respond to the needs of our members. Many volunteers are needed for this important effort.

  • Dissertation (S. Pepper)
    ABSTRACT PEPPER, SHAYNE DAVID. Public Service Entertainment: Post-Network Television, HBO, and the AIDS Epidemic. (Under the direction of Dr. Jeremy Packer.) This project explores the state of public service television in the post-network era. In this dissertation, the complex history of HBO, cable television, and PBS is set against the AIDS epidemic – providing an opportunity to see logics of governmental rationality, industrial change, and medical discourse at work. This project is therefore a vital intervention in studies of governmentality and popular culture, studies of HBO and post-network television, and studies of the history of HIV/AIDS media in the United States. By examining HBO through the often-competing logics of profitability and public service, it is possible to open up new and interesting ways to think about HBO and its programming – as one example of what might count as public service television in the post-network era. Chapter one sets up the framework of the dissertation by situating my intervention in studies of HBO, public television, and governmentality. Chapter two thinks through media history in the modern neoliberal state by examining the historical juncture of the creation of public service television, the rise of cable television, and the intensification of neoliberalism. Chapter three works through the early history of HBO during a time of tremendous expansion in the cable industry due to the deregulatory environment of the 1980s. Chapter four examines the tension between entertainment, information, and education through the role of popular aesthetics in public service television on PBS and HBO. Chapter five provides a history of AIDS media on television and in Hollywood cinema in order to situate a more complete history of PBS and HBO’s engagement with HIV/AIDS programming.
