- **Event Name**: Refusing to Simplify. Luis de Carvajal and the Courage of Both/And presented by Todd Kliman — Shalom San Miguel JC3
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 12 Jan, 2026 at 04:00 pm – Mon, 12 Jan, 2026 at 05:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Luis de Carvajal the Younger’s story, 400+ years old, is not a story about the past; it is a story about the present — about the violence of either/or and the courage of both/and; and within it is a vital roadmap for the Jews of today. 

We live in a moment of growing tribalism and deep anxiety, when identity is often (and diminishingly) reduced to singularity: pick a side, be one thing, simplify yourself. Luis de Carvajal the Younger’s story is 400+ years old but just as timely and urgent today as it was then. It is a story about the violence of either/or and the courage of both/and.
