The eclectic collection of costumes, photos and videos, originally on display at the Bernard Museum of Judaica at Temple Emanu-El in New York, celebrates the illustrious career of this proudly Jewish Brooklyn native.

Wednesday, May 12th, 7 PM

*Dr. Sandra Lilienthal presents: "Living Life in Radical Amazement - Inspired by the Teachings of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel". Whether it is because we are too busy running around, or because we are staying indoors while there is a pandemic, most of us have very little time or energy to "stop and smell the flowers." Built on Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel's teachings, we will explore both the theological and practical implications of living a life in which we direct ourselves to experience amazement and awe in the world that surrounds us, the people we meet and in our deepest selves. “As civilization advances, the sense of wonder declines. Such decline is an alarming symptom of our state of mind. Mankind will not perish for want of information, but only for want of appreciation. The beginning of our happiness lies in the understanding that life without wonder is not worth living. What we lack is not a will to believe but a will to wonder. (Heschel).”

Wednesday, May 19th, 7 PM

Dr. Samuel Edelman presents: "Jules Isaac: The French Jewish Historian Who Changed Christianity". Jules Isaac's name is unknown to most in the Jewish world. More than 73 years ago Isaac, a famous French Jewish historian, wrote a critically important book titled "Jesus and Israel" during the height of the Holocaust while in hiding. The impact of his writing began a Jewish Catholic dialogue which would inspire and change Christian Jewish relations and alter the Catholic Church's attitude toward Jews in a dramatic and substantial way. Dr. Edelman will share Isaac's personal story and explain the importance of his writings in helping Pope John the 23rd in bringing about the Church's change of attitude toward Jews and Judaism as expressed in Vatican II and the document "Nostra Aetate".
