Temple Emanu-El Directions: http://www.emanuelnyc.org/simple.php/about_directions "Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement. ....get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed." — Abraham Joshua Heschel “Our goal is to create a beloved community and this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives.” -- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The historical friendship between Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a touchstone of the Freedom Movement in the United States. 40 years later two museums – the National Museum of African American History & Culture and the National Museum of American Jewish History - embody the hopes and dreams of a people and resonate with the aspirations of these two spiritual leaders. Kinshasha Holman Conwill, deputy director of the Smithsonian’s NMAAHC and former Director of The Studio Museum in Harlem, will discuss the challenges of museums that tell the very specific stories of people central to the American story. Wine and cheese reception to follow. RSVP to the Women’s Auxiliary office at 212-744-1400 ext. 235 or by email to [email protected] by February 29, 2012. There is no charge for this event.
