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 stimulating and insightful debut, The Place of All Possibility: Cultivating Creativity Through Ancient Jewish Wisdom, Rabbi Adina Allen delivers a paradigm-shifting and powerfully accessible reading of Torah as a contemporary guidebook for creativity.  

Drawing from the deep well of Jewish sacred texts, and the radical interpretive strategies of ancient rabbis, The Place of All Possibility provides teachings and tools for those who seek to employ creativity as a force of transformation. Putting spiritual wisdom in conversation with contemporary disciplines of art therapy, liberation theology, and creativity research, this essential book invites us all – from any tradition or none — to rediscover our place in a world of mutual thriving. 

Rabbi Batshir Torchio, JCCSF’s Senior Educator, joins Rabbi Allen for this eye-and-heart-opening conversation as they invite us to rethink and transform ourselves, our lives, and the world around us.
