SUMMARY:Post-Impressionist Escape: van Gogh and Gauguin
DESCRIPTION:Impressionism and Post Impressionism: Modern Life and Escape with Morgan Ridler \nImpressionism\, post-impressionism\, and the famous artists from these movements are some of the most well-known aspects of art history. But the well-worn themes of light\, color\, and personal expression are only part of the story. \nIn this series of three lectures Dr. Morgan Ridler explores the lesser-known elements of these movements\, including their historical and social context. She’ll explore the ways in which the modernization and industrialization of France set the stage for the revolutionary art of the twentieth century.

SUMMARY:Challah and Conversation: Why Does Kindness Matter?
DESCRIPTION:More than the quip “Everything I needed to learn I learned in kindergarten”\, we will unpack why and how kindness is so essential to ways we interact with each other and treat ourselves.  Living in a world of geopolitical strife\, polarizing domestic political rhetoric\, and general meanness\, Jewish wisdom will help us recalibrate our kindness compasses.

SUMMARY:Celebrate Juneteenth: African Storytelling with Subomi Macaulay
DESCRIPTION:Free \nGather on Juneteenth with Subomi Macaulay\, The African Storyteller\, a performer\, author\, and educator who brings the rich traditions of African oral storytelling to audiences of all ages.

Throughout the performance\, the audience is invited to participate\, just as they would in a traditional village setting. \nSubomi Macaulay’s work is rooted in the ancestral practices she learned from her maternal grandmother in West Africa\, where storytelling was not just entertainment but a way of teaching values\, preserving history\, and strengthening community.

Her programs are celebrated for their ability to engage both children and adults\, creating shared moments of learning and connection.
