Description:

Dust and Desert surround us and inspire us in magical and surprising ways at Burning Man. These also happen to be rich, recurring images in Jewish tradition. We were originally created out of dust and we all eventually return to dust, and dust in the wind is a profound reflection of the human condition. Desert is the site of revelation and the unknown, and it is the liminality where we wander between narrowness and wholeness. We'll look at some texts from the Torah, from the ancient Sages, and from modern Jewish thought. And, together, we'll also look inward and outward in new ways.
