Sacred Ecology: Divine Energy in Heaven and Earth during Kabbalat Shabbat with Debra Band
Sunday, November 1, 2020 • 14 Cheshvan 5781
7:30 PM - 9:00 PMZoom
As Shabbat arrives, the Shekhina enters our world and souls, enacting the exchange of human and divine energy that inspires our Friday evening traditions. In this slide- discussion, Debra Band shares her illuminated paintings from Kabbalat Shabbat: The Grand Unification, exploring how our Kabbalat Shabbat customs, drawn from the Jewish mystical tradition and the community of Rabbi Isaac Luria, support this divine ecology in ritual, blessing and song.
De
bra Band holds a BA Honours in History from Concordia University in Montreal and an MS in Political Science from MIT. She turned full attention to Hebrew manuscript arts in 1987. Descended from an eminent rabbinic family, her extensive studies of Jewish texts and research into medieval European and Middle Eastern painting and manuscripts inform her work. Her work, celebrated for its intellectual and spiritual depth as well as visual beauty, includes illuminated and papercut
books and ketubot, other manuscript pieces and papercuts, in exhibits, private collections, community institutions and galleries across the English-speaking world. Debra is the artist and author of multiple works. Debra has lived throughout the United States and Canada and presently resides in the Washington, DC area.

Presented by the Arts Task Force of the Adult Education Committee.
