The holiday of Shavuot starts Saturday night -Jews celebrate the giving of the Torah. In many places there is a tradition to decorate the synagogue with greens and flowers. This artwork by @kengoldmanart , a Torah crown with Astro turf was inspired by that tradition. .

Celebrating Shavuot! Quoting curator @dvoraliss : "In many Jewish communities women made Torah scroll dressings and even donated their beautiful dresses to be used as material. This is the work of @kengoldmanart now on view at the Mishkan Museum of Art in the exhibition of מרגליות-Jewish Gems from the Collection. Dedicated to all those women whose kisses could not reach the sefer torah as they were behind the mechitzah. Wishing everyone a Chag Shavuot Sameach and an invitation for all women to come near to the Torah-spiritually and physically! חג שמח!!" .

ANTI-SEMITISM AND JEWISH ART TODAY: Panel discussion at the Conney Conference on Jewish Arts at the @92ndstreety in NYC, April 2, 10-11 am. Moderator: Ruth Weisberg.
Panelists: @yona_verwer , @phillipschwartzart , @maxkulchinsky , @richardmcbeeart .
Anti-Semitism has reasserted itself as a primary international factor in 21st Century Jewish life. Contemporary Jewish artists members of the @JewishArtSalon and the Jewish Artists Initiative have responded forcefully to this wide-ranging existential threat. Some have documented the shocking parallels of Nazi era abuses and current European desecrations; one young artist charts his coming-of-age awareness in anti-Semitic symbols and memes, another explores the clash between LGBTQ rally and pro-Israeli sentiments while another constructs orthodox observance as a vehicle for resistance and mourning for the Pittsburg Synagogue massacre.
