African Shabbat

[Alex J. Lubet <lubet001...>]

If you happen to be in the Twin Cities April 26-28, U of M Hillel is presenting 
"The Jews of Africa," a symposium featuring scholar Jay Sand.  The Friday 
evening service will feature my African Shabbat, with the Macalester College 
African Ensemble, Sowah Mensah, director, and vocalists from Macalester, the U 
of M, and the community at large, under the direction of Keith McCutchen of the 
U of M Jazz Singers.  I'll be playing guitar on a few of the pieces.  It'll be 
heys (hot).  

If you make a reservation, you can partake in a free African vegetarian kosher 
meal after the service.  Hillel is at 1521 University Ave. SE in Minneapolis.  
612 379-4026 or hillel (at) umn(dot)edu(dot)

On a personal note, I was just unanimously elected to the U of M's Jewish 
Studies faculty, a program among whose achievements is the U of M's first Rhodes
scholar in many years.  I'm pretty happy about this and thought I'd share.

Git shabes,
