Shir Hakavod (Anim Z’mirot) is an anonymous poem by Judah Hechasid, describing in detail the One-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Described. Found in Ashkenazi prayerbooks since Venice 1549, it is a C13th mediaeval manuscript mystery that I solved in Oxford. We’ll wonder at its woven verses and pick it apart, so that our souls can sing and stitch it back together.

In this session I'll talk about Jews, comedy, tone and power. The third season of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel is about to drop and if it's anything like the previous seasons, it will be a hilarious, zeitgeist, groundbreaking peek into Jewish-American sensibility. I love it. But we'd never get it here. Let's talk about that. Maybe we'll even laugh?

We will retreat into Psalm 27, considering its call to radical vulnerability, its language, connections to the Days of Awe and Repentance, and its audacious inversion of a dramatic biblical episode. We will hope to learn some approaches to change from its challenges.
