At the Threshold: Jewish Reactions to Turning Points

Just like this very moment – in every generation, Jews have stood at a threshold, a moment when things change and a response must be found. Through art, text and discussion we will explore three such turning points. General wisdom from our tradition for times of crisis, the visual argument made by Jewish artists in medieval Spain who claimed the sacred against a dominant culture, and the Kabbalistic map of the soul's own growth and transformation. Three conversations, one question: when history, image, and inner life demand a response, what does it mean to answer as a Jew?
