Location: Sketchpad, 4411 N. Ravenswood Avenue, Chicago

Join Rabbi Adina Allen in conversation with Dan Libenson for an eye-and-heart-opening exploration of “The Place of All Possibility: Cultivating Creativity Through Ancient Jewish Wisdom.” An Oak Park native, Adina is thrilled to return to her hometown of Chicago as part of her national book tour! This event is co-sponsored by Sketchpad and Jewish Council on Urban Affairs.

Creativity offers us a portal to transformation, spiritual connection, and revelation. It is there for us when we feel stuck, divided, or disconnected. In her highly anticipated first book, Rabbi Adina Allen delivers a paradigm-shifting and powerfully accessible reading of Torah as a contemporary guidebook for creativity and invites us to rethink and transform ourselves, our lives, and the world around us.

This event is free and all are welcome. Books will be available for sale and signing; order your copy today here! Register in advance.
