November 21 @ 11:00 am - 12:15 pm Postponed: Entering into Prayer: Seeing Prayer in a New Light with Rabbi Rivkah Glick What is prayer? What are we doing when we pray and why is it so difficult? We will try seeing familiar prayers in a new light, experiencing prayer as poetry, love song, conversation, education changing our consciousness, a journey, or as a clarification of who we are and what we need. All this is prayer. We will also try accessing the prayers through different gates: traditional, musical, mindful, and even mystical approaches.

December 11 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm Performing Exile: The Impact of Jews and Judaism on Theatre and Performance with David Chack Jewish culture has contributed immensely to theatre and performance of all kinds in this country. Some would say that “Broadway” is a Jewish legacy. What is it that has drawn Jews so inordinately to the theatre and performance? To answer this, we will look at Yiddish Theatre, playwrights such as Arthur Miller and Tony Kushner; musicals such as West Side Story, Fiddler on the Roof, and Indecent; and humor such as the work of Mel Brooks, Joan Rivers, Gilda Radner, and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” — continuing to ask why have Jews and Jewish culture made performance a home in exile.
