In last week’s Friday PiDay, we shared a powerful story of brotherhood and resilience. After surviving the tragic attack at Israel’s Nova Festival on October 7, 2023, Matan Boltax was welcomed by the AEPi community at the University of Oregon. Through the generosity of our brothers and the local Jewish community, Matan attended his first college football game—a thrilling Oregon vs. Ohio State matchup. Don’t miss the full story of how our brothers united to make this unforgettable experience possible. Click the link to read more! https://bit.ly/3YYPEVV

This Veterans Day, we honor all who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, as well as those who serve in Canada and the Israel Defense Forces. Your courage, dedication, and sacrifice inspire us and remind us of the strength it takes to protect freedom. Thank you for your service, today and always. ?????????????

Tonight, AEPi chapters around the world will continue our Shabbat Across AEPi tradition, joining together once again to celebrate Shabbat and our brotherhood, while showing pride in our heritage and shared Jewish values. In light of the disturbing stories and images coming out of Amsterdam, the importance of being together and demonstrating our faith has never been greater. Shabbat Shalom, Brothers.

Today, we remember Kristallnacht, a night when Jewish communities across Germany were terrorized, their businesses destroyed, synagogues burned, and lives shattered. 86 years later, antisemitism still haunts us, as seen in last night’s attack on Jewish spectators in Amsterdam. AEPi stands strong in the face of such hatred, dedicated to honoring our heritage and defending our Jewish identity. Today and always, we remember, we resist, and we work toward a world where every Jewish person can live without fear.

Happy Founders Day! ?? Today, we celebrate 111 years of Alpha Epsilon Pi, founded on November 7, 1913. Since that day, AEPi has been dedicated to building generations of leaders committed to the Jewish community and the values we hold dear. Help ensure the next 111 years of AEPi, by supporting the Founders Day Challenge! https://bit.ly/4ejqkyo

Each November, AEPi celebrates the fraternity's founding with a month-long campaign to support our incredible undergraduate Brothers. This year, our goal is to raise $500,000 for chapter funds, with the money going towards scholarships, Jewish programming grants, leadership training, and more! As we move into our 112th year, it's more vital and urgent than ever to equip our Brothers on campus with these important resources. Donations are currently being DOUBLED via matching gifts!

Today's Voices article highlights the powerful work of our AEPi brothers, who have led efforts to screen Screams Before Silence, a documentary exposing the horrors of sexual violence during the October 7 Hamas attacks. With 66 chapters participating so far, our brothers have played a crucial role in bringing these stories to light and raising awareness on their campuses. Special recognition to Caleb Unterlack (Pitt), Eli Kinel (Buffalo), and Kyle Rakovitsky (Penn) for leading the charge. Their leadership and dedication show why AEPi continues to stand strong in the fight against antisemitism! Click here to read the full story! https://bit.ly/48fz2fp
