How Meaning Renews: Sermons and Poems that Animate Each Other with Jessica Greenbaum
November 30, 2023 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
At this time of “extreme reality,” join award-winning poet Jessica Greenbaum as we bring rabbinic and scholarly teachings closer to our lived experience through the consideration of poems related to the teachings. We will be reading passages from some sermons that address our moment—including by Rabbi Timoner—along with other provocative sermons which focus elsewhere—including by Rabbi Matt Green. Alongside these excerpts and varied others from around the country, we will read a diverse span of accessible, engaging poems that reflect or refract their lessons. Through this pairing we aspire to enliven each text— and realize their messages anew. Everyone welcome; no previous experience is needed!
