Ongoing Spring 2023 ONLINE CLASSES
Exploring Contemporary Issues of Social Justice Through a Study of The Book of Proverbs
The Book of Proverbs is a collection of ancient Jewish wisdom, song and inspiration. The text often seems vague and ambiguous. However, using, a commentary by Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yankowitz modern Jews will find new meaning and relevance in the book. The Rabbi challenges us to explore the text through the prism of social justice and Jewish spiritual thought. We will take up this challenge through open and respectful dialogue. It is not necessary to purchase the commentary. Rabbi Goldenberg is a retired Reform Rabbi who taught at Gettysburg College and York College of Pennsylvania while serving Temple Beth Israel of York.

ART HISTORY WITH HARRY WEIL – ART IN OUR TIME
6 Wed. beg. March 29
12:00-1:00 p.m.
$70 member / $84 non-member
How do artists respond to what’s happening in the world around them? Can something beautiful also be political? This class explores how modern contemporary art (made after 1860 – today) processes, critiques and questions what is making news in the headlines, including hot button topics: military conflict, feminism, LGBTQ rights, mass shootings, acts of terrorism, and much more! Our focus won’t be on choosing who is right, or who is wrong, but rather exploring art’s role in helping us to make up our own minds. We will be looking at painting, sculpture, photography, and performance.
Harry Weil is the Director of Public Programs at the Green-Wood Cemetery where he curates tours, concerts, performances, and art installations. His projects have been features in The New York Times and New Yorker, among other publications. Harry has a PhD in art history from Stony Brook University.
