February 29, 2024(1 event) 6:30 pm: Torah Talks through Rabbi Eyes6:30 pm – 8:00 pm Join Rabbi Scott Hausman-Weiss (and Rev. Dr. Colin Bossen when available) for a deep dive into the Torah portion of the week. Based on the Jewish calendar, the Torah is read and studied by “parsha” (portion) “in order of appearance.” Through the eyes of the classical, rabbinic commentators, we will study their interpretations, and get to know and understand the tools of interpretation, utilized by Jewish commentators for centuries. Through multiple modes of learning (lecture, diads, journaling), we will ask and answer: 1. What is the Torah telling me/us this week? 2. How did our ancestors understand these words and are there implications for my life and today’s world? 3. How might I live my own life like I’m writing sacred text?

White: Difficult Histories10:45 am – 11:15 am Howard Bossen, co-curator “Wendel A. White: Difficult Histories” presents a selection from White’s Manifest (2009–present) and Red Summer (2011–2019) series. Manifest presents in classic still life fashion individual objects found in collections, public and private, from African American history. Some, like White’s image of a stained-glass shard of Birmingham’s 16th Street Baptist Church, are connected to pivotal events. White, in his montage series Red Summer, ties the past to the present using early twentieth-century news clippings and contemporary landscapes. Made at the sites where racial violence took place between 1917 and 1923, the series draws its title from civil rights activist James Weldon Johnson’s label for the summer of 1919, when white supremacist terrorism reached a fever pitch. White’s Manifest and Red Summer series challenge viewers to excavate the difficult history of the United States.
