Join Paul Solomon as he reflects on his personal journey of returning to Israel, blending insights from art, science, and Judaism to explore profound questions faced by olim: Why here? Why now? Drawing from his book, Inventing the World: How Art Creates Reality (2023), Paul delves into the transformative power of art as a process of reality-making.
Through shared dialogue, he’ll uncover how curiosity, embodied cognition, and pattern recognition contribute to shaping Israel as a persistently creative and enduring land. Together, we’ll explore how these elements help realize both individual and collective goals.
