See Cantor Laura Stein's Senior Recital!

Cantor Laura Stein’s Senior Cantorial Recital, which she delivered on March 8th, 2018 at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in New York City, explores themes of divine and human compassion. Through both music and narration, Cantor Stein discusses God’s compassionate quality and the human commandment to emulate it. She tells of four incredible stories, including one about her own personal journey, which all show just how hard it is for both God and humans to be compassionate towards those who have cause pain. The message of the presentation moves us to wonder how we might be more compassionate towards those who have hurt us, and the music gives us hope that we can, in fact, be like God.
