Join Rabbi Adina Allen in conversation with Dan Libenson for an eye-and-heart-opening exploration of “The Place of All Possibility: Cultivating Creativity Through Ancient Jewish Wisdom.” An Oak Park native, Adina is thrilled to return to her hometown of Chicago as part of her national book tour! This event is co-sponsored by Sketchpad, Repair the World and Jewish Council on Urban Affairs
Creativity offers us a portal to transformation, spiritual connection, and revelation. It is there for us when we feel stuck, divided, or disconnected. In her highly anticipated first book, Rabbi Adina Allen delivers a paradigm-shifting and powerfully accessible reading of Torah as a contemporary guidebook for creativity and invites us to rethink and transform ourselves, our lives, and the world around us.
This event is free and all are welcome. Registration required. Books will be available for sale and signing, or can be pre-ordered here.
Rabbi Adina Allen is a spiritual leader, writer, and educator who grew up in an art studio where she learned firsthand the power of creativity for connecting to self and to the Sacred. She is cofounder and creative director of Jewish Studio Project (JSP), an organization that is seeding a future in which every person is connected to their creativity as a force for healing, liberation and social transformation.
Dan Libenson is the President of the Lippman Kanfer Foundation for Living Torah and the founder of Judaism Unbound. Grounded in the belief that we are in a time of great transformation for Judaism and the Jewish people, Dan seeks to empower and prepare Jews and fellow travelers to enter this process of transformation with open minds and hearts that channel our deepest creative energies.
