Marques Hollie: Angel, Adversary, Apothecary: An Exploration of Satan in Jewish Sources
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.
Operatic tenor and jewsician, Marques Hollie, has been singing professionally since 2008. Since his debut in Opera Omaha’s production of Verdi’s Aïda, he has gone on to perform more than 20 roles in the operatic canon, including rarely performed and new works. Off the opera stage and onto the bimah, he has served as a cantorial soloist for Shabbat and High Holidays services, attended workshops taught by Joey Weisenberg at Hadar, and facilitated meaningful and creative Jewish ritual with FED, led by Deborah Fishman, and Congregation Kol Ami in White Plains, NY.

An emerging Jewish leader, Marques was named one of New York Jewish Week’s 36 Under 36 in 2018 and a member of the inaugural cohort of the Union for Reform Judaism’s JewV’Nation Fellowship where he began developing Go Down, Moshe, a monodrama that explores the Passover story through Negro spirituals, civil rights music, and the narratives of enslaved people. Using his own lived experience to educate others, he has spoken on panels about Jewish seeker-hood, the diversity of Jewish identity, and working with marginalized Jewish populations for organizations including: Limmud NY, the Union for Reform Judaism, and Hebrew Union College. < Less
