SUMMARY:The Depiction of Moses's Image in European Tradition of Visual Art: Michelangelo vs. Rembrandt Share
DESCRIPTION:The Board of Directors of the Center proudly invites you to a session led by our Director\, Elena Khanukaeva. \nThe Depiction of Moses’s Image in European Tradition of Visual Art: Michelangelo vs. Rembrandt Share \nThe depiction of Moses in the Bible exemplifies the intricate interplay between human experience and divine purpose. The Scripture presents Moses as a child who was miraculously saved from the plight of enslaved Hebrews\, subsequently rising to the status of a royal prince\, and later becoming an exiled shepherd. He is recognized as the foremost leader of the nation and is esteemed as the greatest of all prophets. In this class\, we will examine the image of Moses depicted by Michelangelo and Rembrandt. Despite the fact that these artists portrayed Moses through the framework of Christian tradition\, their artistic interpretations shed new light on the understanding of this remarkable figure. \nDuring the class\, we will compare and contrast the artistic interpretation in Michelangelo’s statue and Rembrandt’s painting. Furthermore\, we will explore the ways these visual representations convey emotional complexity in their artistic work. At the conclusion of the class\, we will deepen our understanding of the contribution of both artists to the depth of the text. This class is aimed at a wide audience interested in the interconnection between the Biblical text and Western culture. Participants of the class will gain a new appreciation for the complexity of Moses’ image both in Scripture and in art. They will expand their knowledge of Scripture’s influence on Western Civilization. \n\nElana Medvedovsky-Khankaev is a psychoanalyst and clinical social worker with extensive training in both Jewish studies and psychoanalysis. She graduated from Michlalah Jerusalem College for Women\, where she specialized in Bible study and Jewish philosophy\, and later earned her degree in clinical social work from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 2000. \nWhile living in Israel\, Elana taught advanced courses in Tanach\, including in-depth studies of the Prophet Yechezkel and the Twelve Minor Prophets. After relocating to the United States\, she continued her psychoanalytic training at the Boston Institute for Psychotherapy (BIP)\, graduating in 2005. In 2025\, she completed her psychoanalytic training at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. \nElana is the Clinical Director of the private practice “Power of Connection\,” where she provides psychoanalytically oriented treatment to individuals and couples. Fluent in three languages\, she brings a strong multicultural sensitivity to her clinical work. \nHer professional interests include Lacanian psychoanalysis\, psychoanalytic approaches to complex trauma\, and multidisciplinary explorations of biblical and psychoanalytic texts. She has been an invited presenter at the conference “Psychology of the Other\,” organized by the Center for Psychological Humanities at Boston College\, where she spoke on Lacanian concepts of the “Name of the Father.” She has also served as a panelist discussing Freud’s theory of Oedipus and the biblical notion of the Sacrifice of Yitzhak. \nIn addition to her clinical practice\, Elana offers lectures and workshops that deepen and enrich the study of biblical texts through the lens of psychoanalytic theory. She lives in Boston with her husband\, an orchestra conductor\, and their three children. \nTICKETS \nLehrhaus\n425 Washington St\, Somerville\, MA 02143

Her extraordinary voice allows her to experience the music anew each time\, creating the miracle of the birth of true art before the eyes of the audience. \nThe concert program will feature the best and most beloved Jewish songs – both traditional and modern in Hebrew\, romances\, Eastern European and Latin American music\, masterpieces of world pop music – such a comprehensive repertoire is within Svetlana Portnyanskaya’s power\, as is her delightful skill and piercing sincerity. \nRU Светлана Портнянская – певица\, творчество которой не перестает удивлять и восхищать многочисленных поклонников в разных странах.\nКаждая песня\, исполненная необыкновенным\, берущим за сердце голосом\, задевает струны души всех\, кто сидит в этот вечер в зале. Светлана с первой ноты берет зрителя в плен и не отпускает до мгновения\, пока не затихнет последняя нота .\nНа ее концерты можно приходить бесконечно\, и это всегда будет новый спектакль\, который дает большая Актриса.

Blending the avant-garde with traditional Russian iconography and combining ancient symbols with contemporary subjects\, Gassel creates surrealist works that reflect his cultural heritage alongside his experience of life in America.\nAlexander Gassel uses ancient techniques employed in the creation of icon paintings. He paints with egg yolk tempera\, making his own color pigments by grinding natural stones and minerals\, such as malachite\, cinnabar\, or lapis into powder\, which he then mixes with egg yolk. The artist often applies gold or silver leaf on the paintings. Blending the avant-garde with traditional Russian iconography\, combining ancient symbols with contemporary subjects\, Gassel creates surrealist works that reflect his cultural heritage alongside his experience of life in America.\nLearn more about Alexander Gassel and his works at alexandergassel.com \nAndrey Gagarin\nI am a 74-year-old psychiatrist with no formal photographic education\, but I have been making photographs since the age of twelve. My work arises from observation rather than instruction — from standing still\, listening\, and looking carefully at the world in front of me.\nThe image of Birkenau was taken six years ago using infrared optics. I chose infrared not for effect\, but because it reveals what ordinary sight cannot: the quiet trace of time\, the way memory lingers in light long after people have disappeared. For me\, this photograph is not a document of a place\, but an encounter with history — a way of seeing underlying presence and absence at the same moment.\nPhotography\, like psychiatry\, is an act of attention. It asks you to stay\, to witness\, and to hold what is often difficult to hold. This is what I try to do with my images.\n\n			\n		 \nMichael Farro (Mikhail Faktorovich) — Marquetry\nmichaelfarro.art\nMichael Farro was born in Bobruisk\, Belarus. He studied at MIIT in Moscow and earned a Ph.D. in Economics. Michael works as a computer programmer and has taught computer science at Boston University. In parallel with his technical career\, he pursues marquetry — creating narrative wood veneer panels that explore memory\, history\, and human experience. He lives in Massachusetts with his wife.\n\n\n			\n		\n\nThis event takes place at our Community Hub located at 1320 Centre St.\, Newton\, 02459. \nParking is available between the buildings or on the ramp behind the open bar gate.

SUMMARY:Фундаментальная ЙОГА и энергоинформационное развитие
DESCRIPTION:Фундаментальная ЙОГА и энергоинформационное развитие\nсо Светланой Санберг\n\nЕсли Вы мечтаете внедрить в свою жизнь благостные полезные привычки\, но всё время находите оправдания и откладываете ЗАБОТУ о себе до лучших времён\, то я приглашаю Вас на занятия. Теорию и практики отделяет внутренний барьер – отсутствие чувства заботы о себе. Жизнью и здоровьем личности никто не может распоряжаться\, кроме её самой. Работа со своим организмом – внутренняя обязанность каждого существа на Земле. \nЙОГА – это не болтовня а только практика. Это наука о Жизни. \nИнформационное развитие человека раскрывает творческие способности. Это достигается за счёт упражнений аутотренинга по развитию фантомных чувств\, сверхсознания. Вы научитесь помогать своему организму в восстановлении жизненной силы и его защитных свойств. Откроете в себе новые свойства и креативные качества. \nВторник\, 18 декабря\n6:00 – 8:00 р.м.\nБилеты – $25. Пожалуйста\, купите зарегистрируйтесь заранее.\nВ дальнейшем занятия будут проводиться раз в неделю по вторникам. \nБИЛЕТЫ \nМы продаём билеты через платформу Zeffy.

При оформлении заказа они просят дополнительное пожертвование для покрытия своих расходов. Добавлять ли пожертвование в пользу Zeffy и в каком размере\, зависит только от вас. \nИнструктор – Светлана Санберг; инструктор по ХАТХА-ЙОГА и персональный фитнес тренер; консультант по энергоинформационному развитию; изучает Аюрведу и Ведическую культуру\, любит собирать свежие травы и составлять целебные сборы.
