On Thursday, August 24 at 7:30 p.m., singer-songwriter and social activist Jill Sobule will perform at Congregation Kehilat Shalom in Belle Mead, New Jersey to benefit the Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) Teaching Tolerance Project. SPLC is dedicated to “fighting hate and bigotry and to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of our society.” The Teaching Tolerance project distributes award-winning classroom documentaries, lesson plans, and curricula free of charge to educators nationwide.

“Jill Sobule has been a strong advocate of social justice throughout her career, but it is her wit and sheer talent that makes her concerts not to be missed events. We are thrilled to sponsor this concert and to support the good works of Southern Poverty Law Center’ Teaching Tolerance project at the same time,” said event Co-Chair Deb Tesser.

Tickets for the concert can be purchased at ksnj.yapsody.com for $36 (if purchased by August 1), $45 afterward and at the door. For more information about the event, email events@kehilatshalomnj.org or call the synagogue office at (908) 359-0420.
