The Genesis of Creation:
New Art and Commentary on the Days of The Creation
May 26, 2022
Chuck Lisner’s eight image series is the culmination of his ever evolving interpretation of the days of creation. The presentation includes thoughts from Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch and learned thinkers both past and present as the series progresses from what existed before creation through the process to God’s finished work.
The eight images in the series are composite photos from Chuck’s photography database along with images specifically captured to support his understanding of each day. Some images are digitally produced using little photography at all. All are encouraged to add to the discussion.
Interview with Cantor Beth & Dr. David Strassler
Biddeford Cultural and Heritage Center
December 4, 2018
The Strasslers grew up in New York and came to Biddeford in 1982 where he set up his first medical practice while she commuted to UNH to teach Occupational Therapy. Despite having chosen career paths that can be all-consuming, they were determined to also “live their lives.”
They had different spiritual journeys that led them to highly value their Judaism. Although welcomed upon arrival by Biddeford’s Congregation Etz Chaim, it was on the brink of closing. They gradually took on leadership roles with a focus on customizing services and programs to meet the needs of the community. Dr. Strassler now serves as the synagogue president and she is an ordained Cantor.
Dr. Strassler is a highly respected doctor who has dedicated himself to meeting the healthcare needs of the community by building relationships that focus on the whole person by including family dynamics.
They share a resonating theme of dedication to family life, religious life and work life based on respect for people and asking, “What does that person want?”
