Fifteen years of 92Y lectures means sixty lectures; the focus tonight is the soon-to-be-published retelling of the Golem, the Maharal of Prague’s creative response to persecution of the Jews. Indeed, each of the year’s lectures highlights such a response. Reviewing the fifteen years: Job linked to the Akedah; Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Shimon: “We felt in touch with so many [great figures] that all the dangers of solitude were attenuated.” The year’s topic is tales of commitment: to beauty combined with truth; to Israel; to fervor. We rarely touched on the Holocaust. But via passages from The Oath and Town Beyond the Wall, we learned that the last 15 years was meant “to draw from one another a certain strength to fight indifference.”
