AEPi at Super Sunday!!

This afternoon, the 30th of January, brothers from the Alpha Pi Chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi took part in an event that is held by many of the 155 Jewish Federations in North America with the help of Temple's Hillel. Super Sunday is an annual phone-a-thon that raises money for charity and typically to raise most of the budget for the federation and its constituent agencies. The brothers who took part in the event helped raised hundreds of dollars for the organizations! We as a chapter look forward to participating in any future Super Sundays that the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia plans.

Alpha Pi in Israel!!

Over the winter break, 8 brothers of the Alpha Pi Chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi traveled to the beautiful Jewish homeland for Taglit - Birthright. The brothers who took part in this trip of a lifetime had nothing but wonderful memories to bring back to the chapter. This experience was a great one, especially when spent with eight of our brothers. Younger members of the Alpha Pi chapter were educated by the brothers who took the trip and now are also looking forward to taking to voyage to Israel. With there being an Alpha Epsilon Pi chapter in Israel, this really meant a lot to the brothers who went, and to our brotherhood.

Above shows the group of brothers who went on the trip, along with the two Israeli Soldiers who also joined us.(Front)

The brothers shown above from left to right. (Mike Abrams (2011), Peter Vakarev (2012), Yosef Mcintosh (2013), Skylar Rudolph (2013), Alex Shelow (2011), Geoff Allen (2013), Scott Rosnov (2013), Nate Rosen(2013) )

Among the great experiences in Israel, this picture above may show one of the most memorable. Brother Peter Vakarev (2012) took a large step into finding his Jewish roots by becoming a Bar Mitzvah!!
