The Mishkan (Tabernacle) Mindset: Reclaiming Creativity to Enrich Jewish Professional Life — Art
Creativity is inherent in each of us and essential to our work as Jewish professionals. Just as the artisans of the Mishkan wove together their diverse skills to create a sacred space, we too can cultivate and reclaim our creative spark to bring depth and innovation to our professional roles. Accessing and activating creativity is a practice—one that can transform the way we approach our work and respond to today’s uncertainties. In this hands-on session, we’ll explore Jewish wisdom on why creativity matters now more than ever and engage in brief, facilitated creative exercises using basic office supplies as our art materials. Through a mix of discussion grounded in Jewish text and experiential practice, we’ll uncover ways to reignite our creativity and consider how it can enrich our professional lives. You’ll leave with a renewed perspective on your own creative potential and tangible ideas for bringing creativity into your work.
