SOLD OUT: Robots at the Seder, Passover and the Exodus in Science Fiction

  • Lehrhaus 425 Washington Street Somerville, MA 02143 USA (map)

SOLD OUT: Join the waitlist!

Join for an out-of-this-world evening as Passover draws near! We’ll begin with a close and dramatic reading of a classic Isaac Asimov robot story that contrasts the ancient text of the Exodus with modern themes, including the ethics (and perils) of AI. We will also explore a contemporary short story on Passover’s evolving rituals as humanity reaches for the stars. Be sure to bring your own ways to engage the next generation at this year's seder!
