About the Talk: Breaking the Rules All the Way to Utopia: Radical Discourses on Shabbat In  this shiur, we will explore the relationship between Shabbat and taboo,  ritual and ecstasy, through classic and not-so-classical texts and  readings from the Talmud, Kabbalah, Karl Marx, Emma Goldman, George  Bataille, Anais Nin, Karen Barad and more…

About Micki Weinberg: Micki  Weinberg is a filmmaker and writer based in Berlin. Born in Los  Angeles, he graduated with a Bachelor's degree from the University of  California, Berkeley in 2004. He left the states for graduate studies at  the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, where he focused on intertextuality  in ancient Jewish literature. He also studied Talmud at the Mir  Yeshiva. Weinberg worked at Goldman Sachs from 2007-2010 in London and  Switzerland. Micki has been leading text based study groups in Berlin  and other cities since 2011. In 2018 Micki founded SHIUR in Berlin, and  the organization has since expanded to different cities in Europe and  North America.

About Shiur: SHIUR  is a project that brings together, both in real life and digitally, a  diverse group of academics, diplomats, artists, scientists,  professionals, and others to explore culture and theory through a  critical lens.

The  word "shiur" in Hebrew can mean “text based lesson” or “measurement”  and is related to the Hebrew word sha’ar or “gate.” We like the  multiplicity of connotations that SHIUR has, and we are also measuring, assessing, entering gates, and reconfiguring how we interpret our world.

There’s a whole literary-philosophical-artistic-architectural-spiritual heritage that’s just waiting to be re-examined, challenged, and critically  interpreted. Through specially curated discourse based experiences in  galleries, museums, embassies and other spaces, weekly newsletters and virtual SHIURim with guest presenters, we engage and experience art, architecture, space, text, music, sound, body, mind, theory and whatever else the times offer us.
