Marques Hollie: Angel, Adversary, Apothecary: An Exploration of Satan in Jewish Sources

Thursday, July 30, 4:30pm

When you think about Satan, what comes to mind? The “Devil”? A red, pitchfork-toting, half human/half goat fella? Much of how Satan is depicted comes from Christian sources, but he (or perhaps, it) is not absent from Jewish sources either. In these adult learning sessions, we’ll dive into those Jewish sources and begin to answer the question: who, or what, is Satan.

Paint & Play

Thursday, July 30, 4:30pm

Each week, children will explore a different creative project inspired by Jewish themes, values, holidays, stories, or symbols while experimenting with a variety of artistic materials and techniques.

Every class offers a hands-on experience designed to spark imagination and self-expression. A snack will be provided, making for a fun, welcoming, and creative summer afternoon. Drop in for one session or enjoy the full series!
