Whether one views it as a religion, heritage, culture, family, nation, people, spiritual path, or civilization, Judaism was- and is- a created phenomenon. Its laws, practices, stories, customs, and rituals were conceived in the human imagination and entered into the world through creative action. Cantor Schwartz will guide us towards experiencing Judaism as a creative enterprise, share practices for accessing the Imagination, and explore ways in which perceiving Judaism through a new lens might transform your life.
