Join us for an evening of creativity, reflection, and discovery as we explore the connection between Jewish text and artistic expression.
Using the Jewish Studio Process—a unique methodology that blends practices from the field of art therapy with a reimagined approach to Jewish learning and spirituality—this session invites participants to engage with a foundational Jewish text in a deeply personal and creative way.
Through guided reflection and hands-on art-making, you’ll have the opportunity to interpret text not just intellectually, but experientially.
Designed for individuals of all backgrounds, this program requires no prior experience with art or Jewish text study. Participants will be guided step-by-step through the process, creating a welcoming environment where curiosity, creativity, and personal insight can emerge. Come as you are—leave inspired, with new perspectives and a deeper connection to both creativity and Jewish tradition.
Light refreshments will be served.
