Talk | Wise Aging (online)
In this virtual seminar, Rabbi Paula Drill will provide the spiritual approach to aging by analyzing Jewish texts and values that lead us toward an uplifting perspective rather than a declinist view on aging. Rabbinic wisdom tells us to live every day as if it were our last. At first glance, this teaching may seem morbid, but it can actually be a key to a more vibrant, purposeful, and joyful life in our golden years.

Book Discussion | Nakam: The Holocaust Survivors Who Sought Full-Scale Revenge (online)
Author Dina Porat discusses the true story of a vigilante group of Holocaust survivors who conspired to kill six million Germans. Nakam (Hebrew for “vengeance”) tells the story of “the Avengers” (Nokmim), a group of young Holocaust survivors led by poet and resistance fighter Abba Kovner, who undertook a mission of revenge against Germany following the crimes of the Holocaust. Drawing on rich archival sources and in-depth interviews with the Avengers in their later years, Porat examines the formation of the group and the clash between the formative humanistic values held by its members and their unrealized plans for violent retribution.

Talk | Artist Talk: The Afterlife (online)
During this artist talk, Karina Aguilera Skvirsky will discuss and preview her project, “The Afterlife”, a video installation that explores the “The Four Fates of Man: Death; Soul in Hell; Soul in Purgatory; Soul in Heaven.” The question of how the sculptures arrived to NYC and entered the Hispanic Society collection is the catalyst for her project. Documentary style interviews with the key players leading to the acquisition of “The Four Fates of Man” will be juxtaposed with performative reenactments of each state of Death—Soul in Hell; Soul in Purgatory; Soul in Heaven as depicted by Caspicara’s figurines.

Discussion | What Is Dance Dramaturgy?
What is a dance dramaturg? How do they work? What relationship do they have to choreography and the choreographer? This open discussion is an opportunity to explore the practice of dance dramaturgy and the shifting position of the dance dramaturg within contemporary performance practice. Far from definable, the practice of dance dramaturgy leads to the richly aesthetic and philosophical knot of trying to work alongside and in service to an artist who is not oneself. Led by dance dramaturgs André Lepecki and Joshua Lubin-Levy, this event encourages participation—more like an open forum, or informal study group—and is for those with a variety of relationships to the theory and practice of dance dramaturgy.
