Picture This: Three Very Different Views of Jews and the Civil Rights Movement with Marc Dollinger

Thursday, Mar 12th 7:30p to 8:30pMost American Jews rave about the famed photograph of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel at the 2nd Selma March. Yet, almost no one knows about a second photograph of Charles McDew, the second chair of SNCC (Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee) nor of a photograph not taken at the 50th anniversary commemoration of the Selma march. This talk will challenge American Jewish historical memory, while providing a new (and better) path forward, by looking at these three pictures.

L.I.F.E. Lecture: Haberman Institute Day of Learning at B’nai Israel "How Kabbalah Reimagines God and Torah" with Daniel Matt

Sunday, Apr 26th 9:30a to 3:30pKabbalah is both traditional and radical. While firmly rooted in Talmud and halakhah, Jewish mystics developed bold new ways of imagining God and Torah. We’ll explore core ideas such as Shekhinah (the feminine aspect of God), Ein Sof (God as infinity), the Ten Sefirot, the notion that God needs human partnership, and the Zohar’s mystical approach to Torah.

The Twelve Tribes of Israel with Andrew Tobolowsky

Sunday, May 31st 7:30p to 9:00pThe twelve tribes of Israel are the indisputable centerpiece of the Hebrew Bible’s visions of Israelite identity, and the main protagonist of the biblical visions of history. They are, also, the main way the Hebrew Bible accounts for the unity of the historically and politically distinct kingdoms of Israel and Judah from the very beginning, right through the bitter end of their conquest and destruction.
