"Reliquary: An Ascent", by @donisilversimons , created for and premiering at the @jerusalembiennale , emerged from an act of vandalism. It explores the process required to achieve a resolution.
In Reliquary II, paint and charcoal superimposed over the vandalized work camouflage its defacement; a low wooden birthing chair suggests death (the practice of sitting shiva - a seven day mourning ritual), while also alluding to rebirth by its intended use. A rough-hewn table with an aged toolbox, a metaphor for both mediation and burial, serve as the reliquary. Paper fragments reflect the destruction of the artistic ideal reminding us that conscious acts of violation can never be totally contained.
The video and installation can be seen at Hechal Shlomo museum until Nov 28, 2019.

"Badim", by Ruth Kestenbaum Ben-Dov, at the @jerusalembiennale . The work ponders the possibility of reconciliation between text and image, between holiness and body.
A raw canvas printed with a Talmudic text is gradually covered, primed white in preparation for painting, as the text disappears. In the left-hand canvas a faint image of a woman’s body emerges. On her belly traces of the Talmudic text reappear, in flesh and canvas tones, describing the poles that bore the Ark of the Covenant in the temple: “[The poles] probed and protruded outside the curtain like a woman’s breasts."
Featured in the "Not In Heaven" exhibition, curated by Judy Cardozo and Susan Fraiman at @kolhaot Hutzot HaYotzer Artist's Colony. Until November 28, 2019.
1999, oil on canvas (with screen-printed text from the Babylonian Talmud, Yoma 54), four parts, 53.5 X 162 cm /21″ X 64″', private collection, Jerusalem (photograph: Yona Schley).

“Auschwitz” by @ruth__schreiber . Kristallnacht, which many this year commemorate tonight, marked the attacks on Jews in Germany Nov 9-10, the precursor of the Holocaust.

By @kengoldmanart Hoshana Rabbah is today: according to Jewish tradition you will either be sealed in the book of life for one more year -or perhaps not! In the Middle Ages Jews would stand outside last night looking at their shadows cast by the moon. If your shadow was headless...well, next year might just be your last!
This piece was made in reaction to that tradition and it is called “Hiding from the light of the Moon”

"Urim & Tumim 7", a collaboration by @yona_verwer and @ktklaraaa . Exhibited at "On The Consequences of Hate Speech III", an exhibition curated by Robin Atlas and Nancy Current.
This artwork represents the anti-dote to hate speech: a direct connection with a higher source.
The Urim and Tumim were part of a biblical tool of prophecy known as “The Breastplate of Judgment.” In Biblical times, during war and national crisis, this breastplate was worn and consulted by the Jewish High Priest. Upon meditation, individual letters would sparkle to display prophetic messages: text messages from above. This device can guide us to a more elevated way of living / speaking.
Organized by the @peninsulajcc ; co-sponsored by the Jewish Art Salon.
On view until November 24, 2019.
