synagogue scholar & author series: wednesday, december 18th, 7:30 pm
Our 2024 - 2025 Synagogue Scholar & Author Series continues on Wednesday, December 18th at 7:30 pm with a presentation titled "Worth a Thousand Words: Jewish Art as Historical Text" by Lisa Ellison, M.Phil, National Director of Education at Women's League for Conservative Judaism (retired).
Her talk will discuss the following:
While Jewish creativity has been reflected primarily in the written text, art and other graphic displays can provide an equally compelling insight into Jewish history. What can murals in ancient synagogues, illuminated Sephardic haggadot or nineteenth century German paintings teach us about the Jews who commissioned and created them and the world/s in which they lived?
