IU Hillel honors President McRobbie

On Fri., Sept. 12, Indiana University Hillel’s Hooshir a cappella group sang “Shalom, Shabbat Shalom” a song created by Bloomington artist Bruce David.

This opened their Shabbat service honoring IU President Michael McRobbie with the Chaver award for everything he has done for the Jewish community and for his loyalty to Israel. Close to 450 students and guests attended. David recently joined this song,with his most recent stained glass commission, “Window of the Soul, Sounds of Shabbat,” (see cover) to develop a Light of the Nations Shabbat related program.
