She loves meshing the ancient traditions of Judaism and yoga\, believing they have far more in common than most see on the surface. Her “day job” is Director of Lifelong Learning at WHC.

SUMMARY:Certificate Program Begins: American-Israeli Relationship w/ Hudson Institute
DESCRIPTION:Our policy certificate programs aim to give participants practical knowledge of key policy areas. Over four days in Washington\, candidates engage with the theory and practice of politics and wrestle with the complexity of contemporary policy issues.\nRecent trends have made many Americans doubt the contributions of the Jewish faith\, people\, and homeland to liberal democracy\, as well as the importance of a strong American-Israeli alliance to our national security. This program asks whether support for Israel is essential to our national security and liberal democracy more broadly. Seminars take up the Hebrew Bible\, American history\, and IR theory. Finally\, a review of the rationale for Operation Epic Fury is followed by an exercise simulating further crisis in the Middle East. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Hudson Institute Political Studies \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Hidden Treasures of Chagall in Washington D.C. with GW University
DESCRIPTION:Representing the culmination of nearly a year of research by more than 20 GW students and alumni\, this symposium celebrates the launch of an online exhibition dedicated to the print works of Marc Chagall in the GW Collection. Although his achievements as an etcher are often eclipsed by his renowned paintings\, stained glass\, and monumental commissions\, graphic art lies at the heart of his artistic practice. This online exhibition brings together 27 etchings from the GW Collection\, 14 of which are from Nikolai Gogol’s Dead Souls\, and a unique silk scarf held by the George Washington University Museum The Textile Museum. \nBeyond the works in the GW Collection\, Washington is home to numerous Chagall works that remain largely “hidden”—either because they are not on public view\, are difficult to access\, or have received little scholarly attention. Prints\, drawings\, pastels\, and watercolors\, for example\, are inherently fragile and therefore exhibited infrequently. Other works\, such as the silk scarf in the Textile Museum and the exceptional bon à tirer impressions in the GW Collection\, remain little known to scholars\, while works like the Orpheus mosaic in the NGA Sculpture Garden\, though well documented\, are often overlooked by visitors. The proceedings from this symposium seek to bring these hidden treasures into greater public and scholarly awareness while encouraging new ways of engaging with Chagall’s art. Chagall not only engaged in the visual arts across various media\, but he also expressed his inner world in every art form he created. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: George Washington University \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is
