FAU President to Step Down at End of Year
FAU President John Kelly will be stepping down at the end of the year. Kelly, who came to FAU in 2014 from Clemson University, will step down at the end of the year but will remain with the university in a different capacity. According to Brad Levine, chair of the FAU Board of Trustees, Kelly will “take an important new role within the university,” but did not elaborate. An interim president will be appointed to guide FAU after Kelly steps down while a national search is conducted to find his replacement, Levine added.
“My decision to step aside as Florida Atlantic University president comes at a time that I believe is not only right for me personally, but also right for the university,” Kelly said in a statement released by FAU. “My new role as university president emeritus will afford me the time and flexibility to complete certain projects that are important to me personally and are important to the Board of Trustees. I firmly believe this will be of great benefit to the university as we drive FAU forward. My time as president has been wonderful, and I am looking forward to this exciting new chapter.”
B’nai Torah Congregation 2022 “Music for Humanity” Concert Series Raises $25K for Ukraine B’nai Torah Congregation, the largest conservative synagogue in Southeast Florida, celebrated the 29th year of the synagogue’s popular and inspiring Concert Series by dedicating it to the humanitarian needs of the people of Ukraine. In collaboration with the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County, B’nai Torah Congregation donated $20,000 to United Hatzalah’s Ukrainian relief efforts and an additional $5,000 to support Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County’s efforts in Ukraine. The 2022 Concert Series, dubbed “Music for Humanity,” featured four live, in-person performances – all hosted at B’nai Torah Congregation’s sanctuary in Boca Raton – which included singers, songwriters, poets, pianists, and Cantors from around the world. Featured performers were: Noa, Gil Dor, Cantor Boaz Davidoff, Guy Mintus ‘Piano Virtuoso,’ The New York Cantors, and B’nai Torah Congregation’s own Can-
tor Magda Fishman. The series was presented in loving memory of Eleanor and Paul Weiner. Cantor Fishman selected the concert performers in addition to performing during two of the four events. Cantor Fishman has performed extensively in Israel, the United States, Europe and Canada and her musical repertoire includes liturgical masterpieces, Israeli songs, jazz, musical theater and her own compositions. “ I a m o ve r whelmed with gratitude and joy that we were able to bring this extraordinary musical program to our community – live from our sanctuary – once again,” said Cantor Fishman. “Even more special was the fact that we were able to celebrate the people of Ukraine and raise money for them in the process. Music is truly powerful in how it can bring people together and provide comfort and joy during challenging times. I thank all who were a part of it.”
