Bone Marrow Donor Needed!
A member of the Jewish community was recently diagnosed with leukemia and urgently needs a match to Eastern European Type Jewish for a bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplant, as there are none in the family and none so far in the National Marrow Donnor Program's Be the Match Registry. By joining the registry at www.marrow.org, requesting a kit for swabbing the inside of your cheeks, sending in your sample, and being willing to donate some of your marrow or peripheral stem cells, if you are a match and are called, or by donating monetarily, you could save the life of this person or someone else. Please help & thanks!

Trainers: Dr. Peter Ochs, Dr. Randi Rashkover, Dr. Rumee Ahmed, Dr. Ayesha Chaundry, Dr. Kevin Seidel, et al.
This year’s study topic is “Music” in the TaNaKH (Hebrew Bible), the New Testament, and the Qur’an. Participants’ time together will include study and interpretation of “musical texts” from the sacred scriptures, presentations by professional musicians and musicologists on music and scripture, and live musical performances. Readings and schedules will be sent out to registrants prior to the training sessions.
This year’s training includes individual 2-day sessions at three different campuses: The University of Virginia, Eastern Mennonite University, and George Mason University. Participants are invited to attend one, two, or all three of the trainings—each of which will offer for study and interpretation distinct texts, presentations, and musical performances.
