This fine arts exhibition celebrated the positive aspects of maturity
through the lens of Jewish values. The work explored the ways in which
aging is a process that begins with birth – as a lifelong journey
affecting the dynamics of human relationships, creativity, memory, continuity,
and growth. The Kalsman Institute was a co-sponsor of the installation
and a seminar for professionals and lay leaders as well as a lecture inaugurating
Rabbi William Cutter, Ph.D., as the . Paul M. and Trudy Steinberg Distinguished
Professorship in Human Relations and Counseling.
