In anticipation of the upcoming Shabbat with the Stars Nachum welcomed Rachel Greenbaum to this morning’s JM in the AM to discuss the Arad community and to preview the upcoming, once in a lifetime weekend that will feature the biggest names in Jewish leadership, politics and entertainment. “An unprecedented group of the leading personalities in Jewish life, including the dean of Jewish cantors and the Chief Rabbi Emeritus of Israel will join for a historic Shabbat on November 6-8 at the luxurious Sheraton Parsippany in New Jersey. The event, sponsored by the Arad Foundation, will include Cantor I.M. Helfgot, Chief Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau, AmbassadorIdo Aharoni, Malcolm Hoenlein, Alan Dershowitz, and Hank Sheinkopf. Arad, is a small but vibrant city in the Negev of 27,000 residents, of whom approximately 45% are immigrants from various countries but principally Ethiopia and the former Soviet Union. In many ways Arad is a model of cooperation and co-existence. A mix of cultures and traditions, Chassidic, Modern Orthodox and secular Jews mingle in harmony in Arad.”
