SUMMARY:Reflections on the Dura Europos Synagogue Paintings: From the Syrian Desert to the Israel Heritage Room
DESCRIPTION:In 244/45 CE\, a small Jewish community in Dura Europos\, located at the edges of the Roman and Sasanian empires\, commissioned a stunning series of biblically-themed wall paintings to adorn the walls of their synagogue. Following the Sasanian sack of Dura\, the synagogue was abandoned and forgotten\, until its rediscovery by archaeologists in the 1930s and subsequent reinstallation in the National Museum in Damascus. Weaving in reflections from her recent trips to Syria\, this talk will explore the incredible biblical subject matter in the Dura synagogue paintings and their later reception in both Damascus and Pittsburgh. \nJill Joshowitz is a scholar of Jewish visual culture in the late antique Eastern Mediterranean and the author of Visual Exemplars: The Art of Biblical Figures in Jewish Art and Literature in Late Antiquity (Brill\, 2025). She has curated exhibitions for Jewish cultural institutions throughout the United States including the Maltz Museum\, Museum of Jewish Heritage\, and the Yeshiva University Museum. \n \n

SUMMARY:Bret Stephens and Jeremy Ben-Ami - Come curious. Leave wiser. 
DESCRIPTION:This new series\, developed by the JCC of Greater Pittsburgh\, invites participants to go beyond the headlines through dialogue and multiple perspectives featuring leading voices and meaningful community discussion. The series is grounded in the belief that the antidote to polarization is not disengagement\, but deeper\, more informed engagement. Participants will be encouraged to challenge one another\, remain open to perspectives that differ from or directly oppose their own and practice respectful\, curious conversation. Through a dynamic mix of live panel discussions\, documentary and feature film screenings\, interactive workshops and facilitated dialogue\, participants will move beyond headlines toward a more nuanced understanding of Israel and the questions it raises today. There will be three sessions in the spring and three in the fall.
