Entering the Holidays with Rembrandt: A Selichot Lesson

When

September 13, 2025    
7:30 pm

We will prepare for the Yamim Noraim, the High Holy Days, by reflecting on Rembrandt’s portrayal of the Akedat Yitzhak, the binding of Isaac. 

The story of the final test of Abraham plays a seminal role in the liturgy for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.  Through the examination of two works of this master artist over a 20-year period, we will discuss how his portrayal offers not only different insights into the story but offers a mirror into how we experience the story in the face of our own challenges.  This theme feels especially pertinent in the times in which we are living.

7:30PM: Wine and cheese reception
8PM: Selichot Program
