In honor of International Children’s Day, join Dr. Hanita Kosher for a discussion of childhood in Israel. How has the perception of children, and the meaning of childhood, changed throughout human history?

Drawing on her experiences as a social worker, researcher, and director of Haruv USA, an international training center on child maltreatment, Dr. Kosher will explore the ways in which the social, religious and cultural contexts of Israeli society influence children’s well-being, the response to child maltreatment, and children’s experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Jews prepare for their New Year by engaging in teshuvah, a word that is usually translated as "repentance" and literally means "return." But the ideal of teshuvah also contains possibilities beyond individual penitence. Jewish thinkers have interpreted this concept to speak of many kinds of turnings and returnings - to tradition, to home, or to a whole self. In this class, we will read a variety of modern Jewish thinkers who bring teshuvah beyond the walls of the synagogue to speak to the spiritual and ethical challenges of modern life.

The arts can be a powerful forum for confronting moral issues. In the 19th century, Russian composers, working within a repressive regime, incorporated Russian folk material and liturgical chant to create a colorful repertoire of Eastern European opera. Two of the greatest stars of the Bolshoi Opera,between the 1930's and the postwar period,were Ukrainian artists: the Jewish bass Mark Reizen, and the tenor, Ivan Kozlovksy, who was prevented from foreign tours by his admirer, Stalin. This class will examine their historic film performances in Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov, a study in guilt, along with great opera by Tchaikovsky, and others.
