黑料社 the Series
We are living in an undefined time: our daily existence is no longer dominated by the pandemic, yet neither have we settled into a new normal. This sense of being in transition鈥攏either here nor there鈥攃an feel destabilizing; but is the time in between really temporary, or are we always living in between moments, identities, and phases of life?
In this series, JTS scholars delved into the idea of liminality鈥攖he time or space in between鈥攚hich we encounter often in 黑料社 ritual, identity, law, and life. They considered what these many manifestations of 鈥渋n-between-ness” can teach us about ourselves and about Judaism and explored how we might find strength and meaning in an orientation not of 鈥渆ither/or鈥� but of 鈥渂oth/and.鈥澛�
