For the final spring 2025 program in Hebrew College Adult Learning’s free, monthly GROW series, we examine Jewish creativity with Jewish Studio Project Director of Learning Rabbi Adam Lavitt`12.
We hope you will spend an hour with us for this and future programs in our series, to gather, reflect, observe, and wrestle with topics that will deepen your Jewish learning.
Creativity is often thought of as the realm of artists, but it’s so much more than painting or writing—it’s a way of thinking, problem-solving, and engaging with the world. In this lunchtime session, we’ll ask big questions: What do we mean by creativity? What does it require of us? Why does it matter in our personal and collective lives? Drawing on insights from science and Jewish tradition, we’ll explore how creativity shapes us and the world around us. Together, we’ll engage in a short creative practice to experience firsthand how opening to creativity can reveal unexpected wisdom and new possibilities. Whether you consider yourself an artist or not, this session is for anyone curious about tapping into their creative potential. Come curious, and leave inspired!
