Using Ancient Jewish Wisdom to Reimagine What’s Possible

with Erica Brown, Ph.D.

Tuesday, December 1  |  7-8 pm

This interactive webinar will discuss the nature of creativity and what’s authentically Jewish about the imagination. We’ll look at how some of the world’s best thinkers and artists created rituals in space and time to unleash the muse in each of us and how personal inspiration can help us overcome dark days.
