Geography of Poverty (Matt Black at St. John the Divine)
If you’re in the neighborhood, I think they’re still there. Head down W.110 Street between Amsterdam and Columbus/Morningside Drive. St. John the Divine has assembled these photographs and put them on view outside along the large retaining south wall of … Continue reading
Oberlin Students Writing about BDS (Narrow the Difference and Open the Conversation)
Take a deep breath and listen to what students have to say. This piece by Eli Hovland, Emily Isaacson, and Sarah Keller, which you can read here about and against BDS and anti-semitism on campus, is essential reading. As these students from … Continue reading

Violence & Grace (Mission Dolores)
Extraordinary works of religious art and devotion from the 18th century colonial Mexico, these carved figures of violence and grace are brought together at Mission Dolores in San Francisco. Inside the basilica, they threaten and swoon under the traditional Ohlone … Continue reading
Pop-Up Judaism and Millennial Jews

(Event) Christian-Muslim-Jewish (Ansche Chesed) (Feb 19-20)
Hey New Yorkers, there’s a big event with Mary Boys and Abdullah Antepli at Ansche Chesed about Christian, Jewish, and Muslim interfaith learning and common community building. If liberal religion has a future, this is going to be a part of … Continue reading
