The Holiness of the Imagination Oct. 19, 2004
Featuring Avivah Gottlieb Zornberg and Marie Howe
Avivah Gottlieb Zornberg's presentation "Through the Looking Glass: Imagining Redemption" explored the "secret of redemption" by drawing from stories in Exodus. Marie Howe's presentation "Silences Within Stories Where Poetry Lives" followed Zornberg. Howe uses poems to explore similar terrain, specifically the silence surrounding women in the Bible. She was then joined on stage by Zornberg to discuss their imaginative responses to these stories.
