We will be having a Havdalah Service at the Cap Rep, located at 251 North Pearl St in Albany. The show being presented at the Cap Rep that evening will be Sweat, a drama of lost friendships and betrayal in a time of turmoil in the steel trade in Reading, PA around 2000.

The doors will open at 5:30 pm, where we will be greeted by Maggie Mancinelli-Cahill and the Cap Rep House Manager. We will be meeting in the Lauren and Harold Iselin Room, enjoying refreshments from DaFazio’s. Soft and alcoholic drinks will be available for purchase from a “cashless” Cash Bar.

At 6:00 pm we will be led by Cantor Short in the reciting the Havdalah Blessings. It will be followed by a brief discussion by a guest speaker on the history of the steel industry in Albany, and how it parallels the setting of the show Sweat. We will then be given a tour of the Cap Rep, seeing the backstage workings of the current show. We may also get to meet some of the actors performing in the show!

At 7:30 pm the House opens to the public, and we will start to work our way down the lobby. At 8:00 pm the show starts.

The cost to attend our Havdalah service and food refreshments food is $20 per person. If you wish to stay and join us in seeing Sweat, a block of tickets has been purchased by the Brotherhood and are available for $40 per person.
