Death, science, faith, and redemption.
In the play “Anatomy of Gray,” which opened at Minneapolis’ Theatre in the Round this past weekend, a small-town, uneducated and very Christian community in the South falls ill to an epidemic, and their savior? A Jewish healer who descends on the town when his hot air balloon gets stuck in a tornado.
Sound intriguing? I vote yes.
The play, an area premiere by Jim Leonard, is, according to the theater, “part fantasy, part allegory, part drama, part comedy.” Like the play “Our Town,” the actors constantly break the Fourth Wall, engaging the audience in their thoughts and action. The play will be showing at Theatre in the Round until May 22nd.
TCJewfolk is giving away two free pairs of tickets to see “Anatomy of Gray” at Theatre in the Round. Want to win ‘em? Answer this question in the comments to this post before Friday, May 6th at midnight.
Are faith and science mutually exclusive?
How do faith and science mingle or merge in YOUR life?
And of course, as always, there’s no right answer – we’re picking the winners randomly. Good luck!

I believe that faith and science intermingle and inform one another. They both arrise from questions that we have just by virtue of being a human being living on this planet. Faith is about acceptance of the unknown and belief in something greater than ourselves. Yet even Einstein had a strong faith, he believed in a “God who reveals Himself in the harmony of all that exists.” Einstein looked at the everyday as miraculous and through that laser like focus and natural probing curiousity, he discovered the theory of relativity. Much of the beauty of our world is in the structured yet mysterious order of it which is a miracle in itself.
I feel that science/nature work together and can be greatly assisted by my attitude, which is keenly developed with the help of other
Faith and science mingle beautifully in my life each day, but especially on Shabbat. Bob prepares me for shul.Rabbis D. and O. welcome me as if I were in the original tent. Arnie, Zhan, Anna, Marlene, Rosa, Andrea, Barb, Richard, Jimmy, Bill, Jacki, Joyce and a bizillion others open doors,pick up papers that I drop, get books for me and physically make me comfortable. Audrey stops so I can kiss the Torah.
How can one not benefit from this?
I am agnostic, but I don’t think science and faith are mutually exclusive (if I did, I suppose I’d be atheist). One can believe in everything science tells us while believing that there’s a higher power that set things in motion.
Hi Sorah – You’ve won the tickets! I’ll be in touch shortly.
