Tastes of Jewish Tradition
Friday Night: Is there Jewish Theater?
Join us as we read scenes from 20th century Theater and consider what makes a Jewish play. This is your chance to be a star – you might
even get a starring role.
Shabbat: The Written Word – the Archetypical Jewish Art Form The Jews have always been the people of the Book – the Torah being unquestionable the central book of Jewish life. However, can we
look at our seminal texts as artistic as well as halachic or historical? We will look at traditional texts and consider their astonishing artis-
tic merit.
Shabbat (during kiddish/lunch) : The Power of Jewish Art We will examine a work of the Jewish artist Mauryci Gottleib, who, in spite of being the victim of anti-Semitism in 19th Century Poland,
is today considered by Poles to be the greatest Polish artist.
