SHIUR New York: shabbat in the gallery
August 16, 2024. 7:30pm | Formah gallery
How can contemporary art reveal new insights into ancient texts and narrative? How can text based discourse create a new con-text to appreciate visual arts?
SHIUR Shabbat in the Gallery will explore these questions amongst Formah’s The Feminine Divine exhibition with art of Yana Beylinson, Bokani, Kristy Gordon, Michelle Hinebrook, EE Kono, Diana Kurz, Brianna Lance, Mary Kate Maher, Gabriella Mazza, Katie Southworth, Deirdre Sullivan-Beeman, and Sasha Yosselani.
Join us for an intimate Shabbat meal, combined with an evening of text based discourse along with sources from theory and Kabbalah via a critical discourse lens.
The SHIUR Shabbat in the Gallery series is held in concert with SHIUR gatherings in Tel Aviv and Berlin, where Jews and Arabs, Israelis, Iranians, and other nationalities, come together through text-based discourse at art spaces; thinking together, reading together, developing ideas and experiences together.
Tickets include full programming, kosher catered dinner, and drinks.
$90 Early Bird (before August 11) after $120
Space limited.

this is an URGENT APPEAL TO SUPPORT SHIUR’S ISRAEL RELATED WORK
We believe, now it is crucial to work on “internal defense” by engaging with intellectual and spiritual questions that shape our sense of what Israel stands for and what it means to be Jewish and or Israelis (this includes all Arab and non-Jewish inhabitants and citizens). Given the global nature of discourse about the War, engaging in discourse with our international community is key.
Support our important actions involving Jewish & Arab, secular & religious coexistence and unity programming, including:
Regular in-person SHIUR gatherings in art galleries, cultural spaces, and other locations, where Jews and Arabs, Israelis and foreigners, come together through text-based discourse, led from both within the community as well as with different guest scholars. Thinking together, reading together, developing ideas and experiences together–is vital now as different narratives attempt to draw us apart.
Programming for Arab and Jewish youth–focusing on maintaining unity amongst the next generation. SHIUR has partnered with Mar Elias Educational Institutions in the Galilee as well as with Bedouin educators in the Negev.
Virtual SHIUR where the global community explores through text and discourse the current situation. We believe that maintaining a direct connection across borders and cultures is vital.
Original cultural programming in Israel. Art plays a vital role in times of war and instability. We support and create original art, music, and cultural events directly relating to what’s happening in Israel. We also have events in Europe and North America that are directly related to our activities in Israel—building bridges between all our communities.
