Tastes, Text, and Tending the Garden: the Seven Species of Biblical Israel | Learning and Creative Lab (Summer Institute | In Person)

  • Wednesday, July 23, 2025
  • 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM
  • Fee: $180
  • Join us in person
  • Program Leader: Tamar Forman

In this series with Tamar Forman and guests, we will study each one of the species in ancient and modern texts: from the Torah and midrash to modern Hebrew poetry and art. The study of each species raises topics such as finding balance, attending to both our physical and our spiritual needs, and what it means to live in a culture of excess.

Dates: July 15, 16, 17, 22, 23, 24, & 30

Schedule:

  • Text Study 10:00–11:00 am
  • Break: 11:00–11:30 am
  • Creative Lab 11:30 am–1:30 pm
