For almost a decade, Queens students have sponsored a Soul Food Shabbat bringing together the Queens Black Student Union and Queens Hillel for a celebration of Shabbat and an exploration of commonalities as we explore our past and present struggles. In recent years, we opened the experience up to the broader Charlotte community and it was a sold-out event and resounding success. This year’s theme is “Black and Jewish Street Art in Charlotte.” Our Greenspon Artist-in-Residence and Queens professor, Mike Wirth, and a Charlotte street artist, Abel Jackson will share their artwork and lead us in a discussion.  

We will serve a soul food Shabbat dinner with traditional Jewish and African American foods - challah (the traditional Sabbath bread), collard greens, corn bread, fried chicken, baked chicken and kugel (sweet noodle casserole).

Free for Queens students, staff and faculty. $25 for community guests. Sponsored by BSU, Hillel, DICE, the Greenspon Center and the Belk Chapel.
