The Elie Hirschfeld Foundation to Sponsor Kabbalat Shabbat with Artist Neshama Carlebach

NEW YORK, March 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- 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.

About the Elie Hirschfeld Foundation:

Philanthropy is about the voluntary promotion of human welfare, according to Elie Hirschfeld. The Foundation's values are centered on community enhancement and support, with four key areas of giving: Education, Healthcare, Jewish Causes, and Athletics. Mr. Hirschfeld's intent is that ongoing contributions will enhance, promote and grow organizations that make a positive impact on individuals and their larger communities. With a personal history of giving that goes back to his years as a student serving as President of Brown University's Hillel chapter, Elie has remained inspired by that organization's commitment to enriching the Jewish people and repairing the world. Elie believes that giving back to the community, and to humanity, provides personal as well as societal enrichment. He created the Elie Hirschfeld Foundation as a means of expanding his efforts.
