The story of the Jewish people has been beautifully told through art, literature and architecture for centuries.  Creative outlets have allowed Jews to express their beliefs, transmit collective histories to the next generation, and process the harsh realities of anti-Semitism.  In this tour, we will look at different platforms of Jewish art and culture, including synagogue art from the Persian Empire, the humorous writings of Sholem Aleichem, and Israeli Purim masks from the Gulf War.  Click here to register and a Zoom link will be mailed to you.
