Rabbi Haskelevich with Brandon Paroly, Vice President of UPenn College Republicans.

UPENN, PA — Passions are running high as Pennsylvania’s presidential primary nears. Pundits are squabbling. Campaign lackeys are slinging mud. But at Chabad-Lubavitch House at Penn, Penn Democrats and Republicans set aside their differences to share Shabbat meal.

Sharing Shabbat with fifty University of Pennsylvania students in a politics-free zone recently, provided a much-needed break for Joe Gross, vice president of the Penn Democrats.

Der baal agalah shmaised, dee ferd briken-zich, un-dervaile fort-men (Yiddish). – Reb Mendel Futerfass.

Loosely translated: The coachman whips, the horses lash-out and all the while the journey progresses.

* * *

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will; When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill.

When the funds are low and the debts are high; and you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit; rest you must, but do not quit!

Life is queer with its twists and turns; as everyone sometimes learns, Many a failure turns about; when you might have won had you stuck it out.
