Jewish wisdom teaches that creativity is a capacity that exists within us all.
In a time of narrowing imagination, fracture and uncertainty, creativity is what allows us to peel back layers of all we think we know in order to discover something more vital, generative and alive that exists beneath the surface.
Join rabbi, author, and founder of Jewish Studio Project Adina Allen in conversation with Rabbi David Ingber and author, celebrated speaker and self-styled trans-public intellectual Dr. Bayo Akomolafe as they discuss Adina’s new book The Place of All Possibility: Cultivating Creativity Through Ancient Jewish Wisdom.
This paradigm-shifting book offers a powerfully accessible reading of Torah as a contemporary guidebook for creativity and reminds us that the world is never finished, never still, and that creation is still happening now.
Praise for The Place of All Possibility:
“In this book, The Place of All Possibility, you are likely to encounter words. However, if you lean in closer and bend your ears toward the pages, you might come to touch something else lurking between and behind every font: a stirring sermon in turbulent times; a song, offered with such delicate dexterity, reminding us that the world is never finished, never still, and that creation is still happening now.”
Bayo Akomolafe, Ph.D., author of These Wilds Beyond our Fences: Letters to My Daughter to Humanity's Search for Home
“Bravo for this renewal of the possibility and purpose of arts and artful living.”
Lisa Miller, PhD, Professor of Psychology and Education at Columbia University and bestselling author of The Awakened Brain
“Rabbi Adina Allen invites us to become creators of worlds… [the book introduces] a wonderful method and a remarkable teacher.”
Rabbi Shai Held, author of Judaism Is About Love: Recovering the Heart of Jewish Life
“...a unique and invigorating lens on Judaism.”
