Annual Evening of Roses: A Musical Celebration

The Sister Rose Thering Fund for Education in Jewish-Christian Studies will hold its annual Evening of Roses: A Musical Celebration June 11 at Bethany Hall on the South Orange Campus of Seton Hall University.
The event is dedicated to honoring Marcia Robbins-Wilf, Ed.D., an educator, philanthropist and founding trustee of the Sister Rose Thering Fund for Education in Jewish-Christian Studies. Robbins-Wilf is widely recognized for her lifelong commitment to expanding education and providing humanitarian service.
Holding degrees from George Washington University, New York University and Yesheva University, Robbins-Wilf has dedicated her career to advancing literacy and early childhood education, including, but not limited to, founding a nursery school centered around reading readiness. Beyond her work in education, she has significantly supported international humanitarian efforts, such as the co-founding of a medical clinic in Ukraine to aid children affected by the Chernobyl disaster. Robbins-Wilf’s unwavering and longstanding support of the Sister Rose Thering Fund has further helped expand interreligious education and dialogue for more than a decade.
Proceeds from the Evening of Roses contribute to the mission of the Sister Rose Thering Fund, including providing scholarships for educators pursuing graduate studies in Jewish-Christian relations. The fund promotes understanding and cooperation among people of different religious traditions through education and dialogue.
The evening will begin with a reception at 6 p.m., followed by a dinner and program at 6:30 p.m. Musical entertainment will be provided by the East Coast Inspirational Singers.
