Join the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life for "Midrash or Myth? An Aggada about the Prince of the Sea," a Lunch and Learn with Professor Emeritus Daniel Boyarin exploring themes from the exhibition "Flowing Through Time and Tradition."
In the beginning was creation: ever since, Jews have delved into traditional texts to create new stories. This process, known as midrash, can be expressed in many forms, including works of visual art such as those featured in "Flowing through Time and Tradition." Join author Rabbi Adina Allen and multimedia artist Naomie Kremer to explore the visual interpretation of texts in this conversation and art workshop.
Join the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life for Sephardic Women: Their legacy and Central Role in Preserving the Sephardic Culture, a Lunch and Learn with Professor Emeritus Rivka Amado exploring themes from the exhibition Flowing Through Time and Tradition.
The seventh in a series of creative, collaborative study sessions inspired by the art and objects on view in "Flowing through Time and Tradition." Author Elissa Strauss will lead us in an examination of two stories of biblical matriarchs, Rebecca and Rachel, focusing on their relationship with water. We will also incorporate readings on care ethics and care economics to consider the true value of the care provided with and through water.
