Kabbalah Experience and Mizel Museum present What’s It Worth? Valuing the Artifacts of Our Lives, an evening of kabbalah-style art and artifact appraisals, plus donuts for Chanukah! David Sanders, PsyD, and Jack and Judy Wartell, certified appraisers and owners of the Antique Trader, will offer a kabbalistic perspective on why we hold onto things and when we let go. Then Jack and Judy Wartell will appraise 10 items (brought by the first 10 people to pre-request an appraisal). Hear the history, context and estimated value of each piece!

Do you have a mystery object you’ve always wanted to know more about? Are you still holding onto those candlesticks of bubbe’s and want to know where they came from? Be one of the first ten people to register for an appraisal and find out!

Kabbalah Experience is an open and inclusive learning community committed to encouraging individual spiritual growth through the study and application of Kabbalah’s insights into the parallels between physical and spiritual reality.

Music will provide the sparks for this festive Shabbat dinner in celebration of Chanukkah. Musician and ethnomusicologist Sheldon Sands will lead us on an exploration of the rich tapestry of Jewish music around the world. A journey through music will expand our appreciation for the diverse music cultures of world Jewry, along with a delicious vegetarian meal.

For this very unique shabbat dinner, Israeli photographer Zion Ozeri will thoughtfully consider the week’s Torah portion, in which Abraham responds to various requests and challenges asked of him. Zion will select photographs from his collection that coincide with this Torah portion, illuminating words that on any other Shabbat are simply read. Candle lighting and a vegetarian Shabbat dinner is included; don’t miss this lively and multi-faceted evening.

The museum’s permanent exhibition, 4, 000 Year Road Trip: Gathering Sparks, features the photography of Israeli artist Zion Ozeri. For this special Salon Night, Zion will be with us in the museum galleries for the first time. He’ll discuss the themes his photography so organically describes — migration, immigration and the contemporary Jewish diaspora — through a close look at his stunning portrait photographs from Yemen, Uzbekistan, the former Soviet Union and Latin America. Light refreshments and beverages will be paired with the program.
