September 8 Concert to Feature Mordechai Shapiro and Benny Friedman; Honor Legacy of Ralla Klepak a”h
Chai Lifeline Midwest is thrilled to announce the Roth&Co Harmony of Hope Concert, benefitting the children and families of Chai Lifeline Midwest. The concert will take place on Sunday, September 8th at the Copernicus Center, located at 5216 W Lawrence Ave, Chicago.
Headlining the concert are renowned Jewish music stars Mordechai Shapiro and Benny Friedman, with a special performance by Aryeh Kunstler.
The program will pay tribute to the legacy of Ralla Klepak, of blessed memory, whose Foundation for the Education in the Performing Arts has been a longtime friend and benefactor of Chai Lifeline Midwest and has profoundly impacted the local community.
“Ralla’s vision was to bring the joy of the performing arts to disadvantaged youth and individuals with disabilities. I can think of no better way to honor her memory than through a wonderful and inspiring community event like this,” said Rabbi Shlomo Crandall, Director of Chai Lifeline Midwest.
