Last year, about a month after Oct 7th, 4 AEPi chapters across SoCal shared a shabbat together with over 100 brothers in attendance. There were brothers from different backgrounds from schools with different cultures, yet all sharing 2 very important values: our love for Am Yisrael, and a feeling of isolation that we collectively shared. This year, we want to step it up. After a relentless year of fighting antisemitism on campus, we want to empower the brothers once again. We want to bring back that feeling of joy, and pause any feelings of hostility towards us. We are planning a Jewish summer camp shabbaton weekend. This year, we are intending for more than 8 chapters across California to be part of this amazing initiative, and hoping to welcome more than 250 brothers.
