 An article by Laurel Graeber reprinted in the Be'chol Lashon (In Every Tongue) newsletter and originally published in "The New York Times" on December 8, 2011.
In 1962 Ezra Jack Keats started a quiet revolution that in its own way had as much influence as some of the decade's louder protests. An author and illustrator, Keats published The Snowy Day, about a small boy's delight in his first snowstorm. Nothing radical there. But the story differed profoundly from virtually all the mainstream American picture books preceding it: Peter, the little boy, was black...(continued).

Congregation Eitz Or
Torah Study Led by Reb Arik Labowitz:
Song of Songs - Longing for the Divine Lover
Mystics of all spiritual traditions speak of God in the language of a lover. The prime example of this relationship in Judaism is demonstrated in the Song of Songs. The early rabbis debated as to whether the Song of Songs would be included in the biblical canon, given the poem's erotic nature paired with its reputation of being sung in the local taverns. Nevertheless, Rabbi Akiva taught, "the whole Torah is holy, but the Song of Songs is the Holy of Holies." This class will take a closer look at this stunning and multifaceted text. The topic of Divine Lover as it is manifest in the Jewish tradition and other mystical traditions will be explored. More info: info@eitzor.org. Congregation Eitz Or, Seattle's Jewish Renewal Community, www.eitzor.org. Congregation Eitz Or events are fragrance-free.
