DESCRIPTION:Dorot Presents: Artist Coffee and Chat with Janet Read\nWednesday\,February 4\, 11:00 am \nJoin your fellow Dorot friends as we gather with our current Artist-in-Residence\, Janet Read\, who will discuss her ongoing exhibit\, “Mute Eloquence of Light: Arctic Works.”\nIt is on display in our Lower Level Gallery through March 4. Afterwards\, we will have the opportunity to enjoy an informal cup of coffee together with the artist upstairs at Holy Grounds Cafe. \nThis event is free (outside of the cost of your cup of coffee)\, but please register HERE so that we know to expect you! \nExhibit curated by: Elizabeth Greisman.\nExplore Janet’s website HERE. https://www.janet-read.com/ \nThis exhibit is sponsored by the Yosef Wosk Family Foundation in loving memory of Essie Arnold\, a longtime member and volunteer of Holy Blossom Temple.\nThe Dorot program is generously sponsored by a gift from the Estate of Saundra and Henry Sherman. \nABOUT THE EXHIBITION:\nMute Eloquence of Light: Arctic works\, by artist Janet Read consists of abstract paintings on linen and panels in oil and acrylic and hybrid drawings/paintings on duralar. These works spring from travels in the high arctic in 2018\, 2023\, and 2025. Improvisation and spontaneous abstract mark making visualize the processes of wind and water relating her experiences of the high arctic in Canada and the Greenlandic west coast. Current works extend earlier themes initiated by residencies in Newfoundland and western Ireland. Abstraction conveys an emotional and poetic response to the environment. It is mediated imaginative experience\, re-created as visual works. What do you see? What do you feel? Are you moved to action? \nABOUT THE ARTIST:\nJanet Read B.A.(Hon) Dip. C.S. M.A.\, is a painter\, musician\, poet\, and music educator\, whose childhood was spent near Lake Simcoe. Read seeks the water’s edge as inspiration and solace.

Works are collected in hospital\, public and private collections\, including RVH in Barrie\, Town of Markham\, Whitby Station Gallery\, Art Gallery of Northumberland and the Royal Bank.

DESCRIPTION:Heresy and Revolutions with Rabbi Samuel Kaye\nWednesdays\, 7:00 pm (in-person and online) \nJoin Rabbi Kaye for an adult education program on some of the lesser-known stories in our Jewish history. \nTogether\, we will take a deep dive into three major ideas and figures from our Jewish texts and history that have been viewed as heretical or revolutionary. From the story of Alesha ben Abuya\, Rabbinic Judaism’s first ‘heretic’\, to the chutzpadick Jews of the late 19th century who overturned the ‘Three Oaths’ and created modern Zionism. Along the way\, we’ll also stop in the 1600’s to meet the man who claimed to be Moshiach\, the one and only Shabbatai Tzvi. \nRegister here

Other areas of academic interest are Genre Studies\, Cultural Studies\, Women’s Cinema\, National Cinemas and Cinemas of the Diaspora.

And she loves nothing better than to share her knowledge\, experience and unique insights with those around her. \n
