Jewish Text and Art

Catalog description

Art can be a powerful tool for uncovering new layers of meaning in Jewish texts and ideas. In this class, students will use art to respond to Jewish texts, expressing their own insights and original interpretations through a variety of visual media. Through this process, students will gain new tools for studying and teaching Torah while nurturing their own connection to art as a spiritual practice. Students with all levels of textual and artistic background are welcome. No prior experience in either is required. This class satisfies the Sacred Arts requirement.
