Open Your Hands to the Great Hand: The Power of Gesture @ The Paul Feig z"l Tikkun Leil Shavuot 2023, 7th floor Makom

A stationary Hamsa on the wall becomes animated into the opening of hands in Poteach et Yadekha in the Ashrei prayer, which becomes a gesture of opening of regret. While the hands are our instruments of action in the world, they are also the way through which Spirit is revealed. Explore how Jewish text looks upon the hands as symbols of power, authority, the whole person, and life itself.
