...comfortable mythological figure. And of course, in one sad way to me, there is a tendency to make him a leader of his people, to reduce him to just doing something for black people.

The wedding at Elmwood was an even smaller affair, with no more than 40 of the couple’s relatives and closest friends. Rabbi Norman Janis, a chaplain at the Harvard Hillel Foundation, presided over the ceremony. Summers and New are both Jewish. The bride and groom were driven to the Fogg in the president’s trademark Lincoln Town Car, its “1636” vanity license plates evoking...

Thank you for the help that you have given and for the help that you are going to give to Israel,” said The Fools between songs. Avi Poupko, Harvard Hillel campus Rabbi and Rabbinic Advisor to the Orthodox Minyan said, “The band’s name is based on an ancient Jewish teaching that states that the mind can sometimes get in the way of prophecy. At Harvard, where the mind is so important, we sometimes forget that the heart...
