The Elie Hirschfeld Foundation To Sponsor Kabbalat Shabbat With Artist Neshama Carlebach

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The Elie Hirschfeld Foundation announces sponsorship of a Kabbalat Shabbat gathering with the Congregation Beit Simchat Torah, featuring music artist Neshama Carlebach.

Neshama Carlebach is an Award-winning singer/songwriter and advocate for human rights and religious pluralism. She partners with synagogues, churches, and organizations, collaborating with musicians of diverse faiths. Her work has ignited public conversation and broken barriers surrounding women in Judaism today.

The Kabbalat Shabbat event, sponsored by the Elie Hirschfeld Foundation, will be hosted by the Congregation Beit Simchat Torah, on March 13, 2020. Services will be followed by a conversation between Neshama and Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum, with songs by Neshama interwoven throughout the talk.
"I am pleased to be able to facilitate this gathering around tradition and music," said Elie Hirschfeld.

Facilitating conversation around Jewish causes has been essential to the Elie Hirschfeld Foundation from its beginning, with significant contributions going towards Brown University, Elie's alma mater, as well as the Jewish National Fund and Israel's Weizmann Institute, among others. Brown University's Hirschfeld House is the home of a renowned Judaic Studies program, which has recently facilitated events around Latvian Jews and the Red Army of WWII, Ancient Ideologies of Oral Revelation, Lesbian Marriage in Roman Antiquity, Gender in Israeli and Palestinian Film, an Orthodox Antisemitism, and Perception in Thirteenth Century Paris.
