The Eugene & Elinor Friend Center for the Arts presents emerging and established performers, artists and thinkers, all coming together to explore the far reaches of the Jewish imagination. With artists from many disciplines, the Friend Center presents programs that transcend differences among Jews and that create new bridges of understanding between the Jewish community and other ethnic and religious groups.
