Why SHIUR at Jeffrey Deitch ?

Tonight, SHIUR opens its New York Dérive with an interdisciplinary salon at Jeffrey Deitch in SoHo.

Jeffrey Deitch emerged from the downtown New York art world of the 1970s, when galleries were gathering places for artists, thinkers, and cultural experimentation. A world of spontaneous encounters and intellectual exchange that helped shape contemporary culture.

It’s an ethos we admire and seek to cultivate through SHIUR: bringing Jewish texts, philosophy, art, and music into conversation, allowing unexpected ideas and relationships to emerge.

Tonight, we will explore Eddie R. Aparicio’s exhibition Rubberneckers with William Croghan, followed by a musical performance by cellist Tamar Sagiv I Cellist Sagiv and text-based discourse led by SHIUR founder Micki Weinberg Weinberg. L Dr. Jens Jokisch, Consul General of Germany in New York, German Consulate General New York will give opening remarks.

We’re grateful to Jeffrey and his team for welcoming us and excited to see what emerges from the encounter.

Music by Holocaust victim James Simon will be performed at the SHIUR NY Dérive on Wednesday

Part of SHIUR’s mission is to seek out the concealed, forgotten, and overlooked: artists, composers, works, and ideas that have been neglected, suppressed, or appreciated only within small circles. We bring them into a living discourse, creating new encounters between cultural traditions, contemporary art, and people.

At our New York dérive opening this Wednesday at Jeffrey Deitch, cellist Tamar Sagiv I Cellist will perform works by James Simon (1880–1944), a German-Jewish composer murdered in Auschwitz whose music is being restored to the public by Tamar and Elysium - Between 2 Continents

His music will become part of an interdisciplinary encounter with Eddie R. Aparicio’s Rubberneckers, Jewish interpretive texts, and the participants gathered for our salon.

How can art and ideas emerge from the particular circumstances of their historical moment and, precisely through engaging with those circumstances, transcend them?

Last night’s SHIUR in New York, with the leadership of Havurah | Jewish Art and Verklempt! , surrounded by the art of max at Hi-Note Radio , Micki Weinberg led a discourse drawing on 20th-century Marxian art theory alongside Kabbalistic and Hasidic texts. We explored the tension between original creativity that responds to its historical moment while transcending it, and creativity constrained by the conventions and conditions of its time.

In a sense, the text-based discourse was itself an experiment in this question: what new ideas can emerge when we bring inherited texts into dialogue with our own historical moment? This is precisely the practice SHIUR seeks to cultivate: creating the conditions for new ideas to emerge through the encounter between texts, people, and the present.

A new Jewish émigré culture is taking shape in Tel Aviv, and SHIUR is becoming one of its meeting points.

Tel Aviv is again becoming a center for secular Jewish émigrés from Germany, France, Australia, Latin America and elsewhere.

Many here are returning to Jewish texts outside a religious framework, because these texts offer a native conceptual language for thinking about the world: relation, boundaries, multiplicity, absence, presence, construction.

That was the basis the discourse led by Micki Weinberg under the sukkah last night. Many of the people around the table had first encountered SHIUR at events in other countries, and have since moved to Israel.

It was striking to see how Tel Aviv is benefiting from this new concentration of people, experiences and ideas—and what this influx of perspectives might bring to Israel more broadly.

Thank you Alberto Argy julo and the La Casa family for hosting us, and thank you Kat for helping prepare!

Thank you Leia Jospé and Aurelia Fellous for the pics!

SHIUR is back in Tel Aviv!

What if intimacy requires more than closeness?

We can be attached to a society or value system, live within it, even love it—and still never truly face it.

In the Kabbalistic drama of the High Holidays, separation makes possible a different kind of encounter: panim b’panim, face to face. On Shemini Atzeret, that movement reaches its culmination in union.

On September 30 in Tel Aviv, with Micki Weinberg we’ll explore what this ancient myth can tell us about separation, desire, intimacy, and the possibility of face to face encounter.

Glimpses from SHIUR Jerusalem: NOWHERE TO RETURN…

Adorno famously wrote of Schoenberg: “Only that which has been nourished with the life-blood of the tradition can possibly have the power to confront it authentically.”

This gathering was different from many of our usual discourses. Alongside a diverse crowd of participants from radically different backgrounds (some grew up in Baghdad and Tehran, others in Satmar Williamsburg and Stamford Hill!) and disciplines, a significant number came from ultra-Orthodox and Hasidic backgrounds, raised deeply steeped in tradition.

At our discourse, we explored subversive, anti-traditional 18th-century texts that, paradoxically, can perhaps be best appreciated by those raised within the very tradition from which these texts emerged—and which they challenged.

Part of stimulating growth within deeply rooted systems involves working from within preexisting languages & worldviews - whether this be with Middle East peace, innovation in art, or with cultural and intellectual continuity within different traditions.

The discourse, led by Micki Weinberg , was filled with passionate discussion and concluded with a heartfelt niggun singing and Havdalah led by Estee Silberberg .

Thank you Dr. Nir Boms for hosting and for your insights in our discourse!

Micki Weinberg returns to Jerusalem from Berlin for SHIUR NOWHERE TO RETURN—an evening of guided, text-based discourse, Havdalah, and niggunim.

We will explore contemporary questions through the radical texts of Nehemia Hayyun, the subversive 18th-century Kabbalist whose books were banned and condemned to be burned. We will read from rarely explored sources alongside texts from Western philosophy and theory.

Micki Weinberg will guide the discourse, followed by Havdalah and Hasidic niggunim with Estee Silberman Estee Silberberg (Jerusalem).

Free event. Space is limited. Apply via the link in bio.
