Brandon will reflect on the research\, creative choices\, and ethical responsibilities involved in translating Holocaust history into accessible\, meaningful exhibitions\, while expanding on the themes and stories presented in each. Join us for a thoughtful conversation about remembrance\, education\, and the power of exhibitions to foster understanding and community. \nAbout the Speaker \nBrandon Hearty is a Calgary-based cultural professional and community volunteer with a strong commitment to Holocaust remembrance\, education\, and civic engagement. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Brigham Young University and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Calgary. His academic training in the arts has equipped him with a broad skill set grounded in research\, visual storytelling\, and public engagement. \nHe first became involved with Calgary’s Jewish community two years ago through the Violins of Hope exhibit at the National Music Centre\, where he served as Manager of Exhibition Development. Now working at Contemporary Calgary\, Brandon continues to volunteer his time and talents in service of the community motivated by a commitment to collective memory and education. Most recently\, he played a key role in producing the One Thread\, Six Million Lives exhibit at the Central Library in honour of International Holocaust Remembrance Day. \n\n \n \n Hazak Lunch & Learn\n \n \n Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n PhoneWhich session are you registering for?Thursday\, May 7 — Sahbra Anna MarkusWe're always looking for new speakers who want to teach us about their work or passions.

The Beth Tzedec Book Club DESCRIPTION:Join us each month at Masala Art for lively conversation\, good company\, and great food as we explore Jewish literature together. The Beth Tzedec Book Club is open to all who love reading and discussing stories\, history\, and ideas through a Jewish lens. \nIn March\, we’ll be reading The Madwoman in the Rabbi’s Attic: Rereading the Women of the Talmud by Gila Fine. \nWhile women in the Talmud are often marginal and unnamed\, Fine focuses on six named heroines—Yalta\, Homa\, Marta\, Heruta\, Beruria\, and Ima Shalom—who seem to embody familiar antifeminist archetypes. Through close\, literary rereading\, she reveals far more complex characters and uncovers surprisingly nuanced rabbinic perspectives on marriage\, intimacy\, and women’s lives. In the process\, Fine challenges us to rethink not only these ancient stories\, but also how we read texts—and how we see one another. \n\n \n \n Book Club Registration\n Please register once for each session you plan to join. \n \n Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n Phone(Required)There is NO CHARGE to join Beth Tzedec's Book Club.
