"From every human being there rises a light..." - Baal Shem Tov
This Hanukkah use Voices & Visions to stimulate thoughts on the theme of light. Set up an easel in your lobby or reception area with this poster and questions:
* What is the nature of your "light"?
* Who are the "lights" of your life?
Listen to the conversation flow!

On Parshat B'reishit (Sept 28 - the Garden of Eden story), Vivian Newman addressed Henry Steiner's design around Blu Greenberg's realization: Once I had tasted the fruit of the tree of knowledge, there was no going back. "The fruit that Newton sampled and tasted was the concept of gravity. Once that apple hit Newton on the head, once Newton tasted and began to develop the concept of gravity, there was no turning back, both for Newton and the world."
