Beit Midrash Study Session | Waters of Transformation

Magnes Collection of Jewish Life and Art 2121 Allston Way, Berkeley, CA, United States

The sixth in a series of creative, collaborative study sessions inspired by the art and objects on view in "Flowing through Time and Tradition." Through text study, personal reflection, and a series of paintings that capture the intimate essence of these transformative moments, Rabbi Katz and Karen Fridman will delve into the spiritual depths of these water-based rituals.
