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:

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?
