Virtual Seminar: Rosh Hashanah Judaica with Artist Tobi Kahn

Join this virtual seminar with award-winning artist Tobi Kahn in honor of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year! The Museum at Eldridge Street is proud to feature their current exhibition Memory and Inheritance: Paintings and Ceremonial Objects by Tobi Kahn, showcasing Kahn’s luminous paintings and his singular Judaica in this historic synagogue home, inviting reflection and meditation. How can material objects enhance the spiritual experience? Although Judaism has emphasized words and interpretation, Kahn has found the visual elements of the tradition, namely Judaica, equally illuminating. For him, spirituality is integrally bound up with the beauty of the created world. Judaica discussed in this program will include a shofar (ram’s horn) holder and an apple and honey set in the shape of a dancer.

Please see the Zoom link in your order confirmation email. This program is entirely virtual.
