(1888PressRelease) November 16, 2013 - Canadian comedy icon and TV personality Jebb Fink will get his plaid on to emcee an evening of Scottish entertainment with a Jewish twist as Beth Tzedec Congregation and the Prostate Cancer Centre present the Third Annual Robbie Burnstein Dinner and Fundraiser on Thursday, February 13th at Calgary's Beth Tzedec Synagogue.

Highlights include a traditional Burns Supper, complete with the time-honoured piping in of the Haggis. A kosher version of this Scottish delicacy, forever immortalized by "Rabbie" Burns, will be prepared by outstanding local chefs under the supervision of Rabbi Shaul Osadchey, Beth Tzedec's spiritual leader and resident chef.

Well known Calgary entrepreneur and philanthropist Sam Switzer and his family are the lead sponsors for this year's Burnstein Dinner. They are joined by a growing list of private and corporate sponsors including Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, Rothenberg Capital Management and Executive Suites by Roseman. Proceeds from the dinner will support community education and outreach by Beth Tzedec and prostate cancer awareness and advocacy through the Prostate Cancer Centre.

"Burnstein is about both fundraising and fun-raising," said Dinner originator and chair Leonard Seidman. "We anticipate record-breaking attendance due to the fusion event's wide appeal and its emphasis on giving back within the Calgary community at large."

A Burns Dinner is a traditional celebration of the life and poetry of the world-renowned 18th Century Scottish bard, Robert Burns, who lived from 1759 to 1796.

The Third Annual Robbie Burnstein Dinner takes place Thursday February 13, 2013 at Beth Tzedec Synagogue, 1325 Glenmore Trail SW.
