Shabbaton
Saturday, April 26th
to honor Chisuk Emuna's
Chevra Kadisha ("sacred society")
On Saturday, April 26, our Shabbat morning service will include some brief reflections regarding the work of Chisuk Emuna’s Chevra Kadisha, followed by lunch. Our purpose is to educate fellow congregants as well as to honor and express our gratitude to these dedicated volunteers who ensure the respectful and dignified care of our departed loved ones.
It’s our hope that this event may lead to an expansion of our roster of active members.
Please consider making a contribution in their honor which helps offset the cost of a special luncheon. Click here to give and indicate it is for the Shabbaton lunch. Or send your check directed to “Shabbaton” to Chisuk Emuna Congregation, 3219 Green Street, Harrisburg PA 17110.

Kindly RSVP by April 18 to info@chisukemuna.org.

Harrisburg’s Kesher Israel and Chisuk Emuna Congregations are proud to present Howard Langer, winner of the 2025 National Jewish Book Award, Miller Family Book Club Award. Mr. Langer will make an in-person presentation, then will sign books following his talk. Mr. Langer will be in conversation with local author, Joel Burcat.
The fiddler busking in the Columbus Circle subway in 1965 is the last Dekrepitzer Rebbe, sole survivor of his Hasidic sect following the Holocaust. The Last Dekrepitzer follows Shmuel Meir Lichtbencher, who was raised to be a rebbe in Poland. He is smuggled by Black GIs to Mississippi who are impressed with his unique style of playing the fiddle. He lives among the poor Blacks and Black musicians in Mississippi. He marries Lula Curtin, and later flees a Klan attack to Manhattan. Playing street music with Reverend Gary Davis, he searches for his followers playing his mournful Hasidic melodies on his fiddle in street corners and in the subways. He seeks G-d, solace, and his people among the poor, Jewish, and Black people of New York.
