Join scholar Jennifer Stern for an illuminating online talk about Yehuda Pen, the pioneering Jewish artist who became Marc Chagall's first art teacher in Vitebsk, Russia. Trained at the St. Petersburg Art Academy, Pen was the first Russian artist to combine traditional techniques with openly Jewish subject matter drawn from the daily lives of ordinary Jews, effectively inventing "Jewish fine art" in Russia.
His influence shaped a generation of avant-garde artists, including Chagall, El Lissitzky, and Solomon Yudovin, who embraced modernism in a distinctively Jewish way. Come learn about Pen himself and the famous students he inspired.
Date: Sunday, May 31, 2026 Time: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM PT / 2:00 – 3:00 PM ET / 8:00 – 9:00 PM CT Location: Online via Zoom Cost: $18 early bird (register before May 17) | $25 regular

An evening of community yoga and sound healing beneath the palms at Tecolote Shores South.
Join us for a Full Moon gathering on Mission Bay, where we’ll flow through a sunset Vinyasa yoga practice under the palm trees before settling into a restorative sound healing and meditation session. We’ll also create space for quiet reflection with time for journaling, whether through personal reflection or guided prompts. The evening will close beneath the rising Full Moon over the bay.
These gatherings are intended as a collective pause, a chance to reconnect with ourselves, move intentionally, release what feels heavy, and welcome in new energy with the support of community and nature.
Bring your journal, crystals, moon water, or anything that helps you feel grounded and connected. Come ready to move, reflect, and get a little witchy with us under the Full Moon at Mission Bay.
