Workshop with Daniel Yalowitz

 This Sunday, Feb 17, 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM: For all TI and community members interested in learning about C.G. Jung's concept of archetypes, we will explore those particular archetypes we are likely to encounter during the second half of our lives and focus on their impact and influence on our life's journey. The program is based on Daniel's new book, Journeying with Your Archetypes: The Search for Deeper Meaning in Daily Life. It is open to all and presupposes no prior knowledge of Jung or psychology. Books will available for purchase and signing following the program.

March 3, 3 PM: Mak'hela performs Sacred & Secular Music of Salamone Rossi @ JCA
Mak'hela, the Jewish Chorus of Western MA, in collaboration with the Five College Early Music Collegium, presents a concert that will transport you to a time long ago! Salamone Rossi (ca. 1570–1630) was an Italian Jewish composer during the late Renaissance/early Baroque. He revitalized ancient Jewish prayers with contemporary compositions, and in addition wrote many secular works. Rossi’s liturgical music is an intoxicating blend of traditional Hebrew prayer and quintessential Renaissance sounds. We will bring you a selection of his choral works, joined by instruments that would have originally accompanied them.
