Exhibition Organized by museum director Wendi Furman.
Next Year in Uman features 30 of the images Ahron Weiner shot over a six-year period in the central Ukraine. 25,000 Jews of every stripe travel to a small town to pray at the grave of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov–a spiritual seer who died 200 years ago, but is still revered as the one true leader of a thriving Hassidic sect. This event–the largest Jewish pilgrimage to any point outside of Israel–can best be described as Mount Sinai meets Woodstock.

A call for innovation in the arts was discussed this week at The Orthodox Forum, an academic conference hosted by Yeshiva University.
The mission of this year’s conference was to come to terms and innovate art and cultural trends not inherently understood in the community. The discourse reflected the Modern Orthodox insecurities balancing integration with general society while remaining halachically and traditionally Orthodox.
Major issues discussed were the boundaries of art in the Jewish community.
“The separation between art and religion is convenient for both sides.†Rabbi Yuval Sherlow stressed during the panel Sprituality, Art, and Halacha. He noted religious figures appreciate not having to deal with the hard issues of what is accepted in this very gray area, and artists like being free from judgment from those who don’t understand them. Sherlow advocated for the breaking of barriers which have been created by fear and lack of understanding.

Last Generation Women of the Book
22 Mar2011
By Chava Evans | Tweet
“Women of the Book†is an exhibition of books by Jewish women at the Park School, a private preparatory school outside of Baltimore. At first glance, the show is a bit of a puzzle. What is a fairly major show of Jewish art doing in a non-Jewish school ten minutes from a large Jewish community?
