Part of Weitz’s ongoing “My Golem” project\, Prayer for a Burnt Forest is a compelling performance-prayer calling for action around social justice\, climate change\, and progressive wildfire management. Weitz’s futuristic\, folkloric golem traverses the recently-charred landscape of Tongva land in Southern California framing fire’s potential for both ecological catastrophe and hope. Watch the short film and join Weitz in conversation about how traditional ecological knowledge combined with ancient Jewish practices can be a powerful means of healing and addressing the inextricable wildfire and climate crises. \n“Like Chaplin’s hallmark satire of capitalism and fascism\, Weitz poignantly brushes up against the absurd\, and even the profane\, to inject some joy into our troubled moment.” —48 Hills \nTickets\nBy Donation* – Register here \nRegistration is required.
