Arts & Culture
|
| 
|
|  Another Language for Learning: A Round Table Discussion on Arts Education: Several prominent Jewish educators examine the philosophy of arts-in-education as it relates to a variety of Jewish learning settings, and explore the ways in which the arts are currently transforming the Jewish educational landscape. How does integrating the arts make a difference in the practice of teaching and the process of learning? How can the arts transform curriculum and help us meet the ongoing challenges of Jewish education?
|
| A Visual Language: Rabbi Leon Morris interviews artist Tobi Kahn on his work. “I want art to be healing, redemptive. I want you to look at my work and it changes, and it changes you.”
|
| The Bright River of Jewish Culture: Daniel Schifrin explores contemporary Jewish culture and suggests that “Jewish communities should give people experiences that move them, not a series of ideas intended to educate them.”

Quote of
the Month
|
|
|
|
| “While Jewish communal bodies lament the disenfrancchisement of young Jews, few bold new ventures in Jewish music, theater, film, and other media are encouraged or finanncially supported. Although art could radically impact Jewish identity and social values, artists and their creations are struggling for acceptance and recognition; they are often perceived merely as entertainment.”
Amichai Lau-Lavie, Artistic Director of STORAHTELLING
