In the Jewish calendar we just entered the month of Elul , which is a time of soul-searching and reflection to prepare oneself for the high holidays. During this time we observe Selichot, communal prayers for Divine forgiveness. .

Shabbat shalom! "Vessel P#3" by Stacy Leeman, oil paint on canvas. .
"For this series of paintings, I studied a Talmudic passage from the tractrate of Shabbat in which the rabbinical sages interpret a text from Exodus that interprets the biblical phrase “zeh keli ani v’anvehu" to mean "This is my G-d I will beautify or embellish Him." This painting is part of a series that began as a meditation on the notion of beauty in response to a photo a friend shared years ago of bottles, or empty vessels, refracting the sunlight. The bottles were intense colors and the light passing through them was striking. This image stayed with me as I explored the idea that in creating beauty the artist mimics the acts of the Creator, much like Shabbat is part of the weekly reenactment of G-d's act of creation" @stacyleeman .

Rena Bannet and her "Chained" sculpture; painting on the wall: "Enough!" by @irapaints , at The Invisible Jew exhibition.
In this work, East and West come together to illustrate a universal phenomenon: the placing of onus on women for the behavior of men.
The show was produced by the Jewish Art Salon, curated by @goldie218, co-curated by @yona_verwer and exhibited at Detour Gallery, NJ. The theme addressed the lack of representation of women in orthodox media, the circumstances that allowed it, its consequences, and related issues.

On this Fourth of July, a day of liberation in the USA, we mention 17th-century Dutch philosopher Spinoza and our call for art for our exhibit "Spinoza: Marrano of Reason". In his book “Ethics” Spinoza describes the state plays a direct liberating role in the lives of its citizens.
We are seeking art dealing with/wrestling with Spinoza’s philosophy, history, issues, legacy - and its meaning for you, our world, our identities, religion/culture/spirituality.
Deadline submissions July 31, 2018.
More info on the call for art here: https://jewishartsalon.org/2018/04/20/call-for-art-spinoza-the-marrano-of-reason/

A Tale of a Woman with a Robe, video by @nuritj “I cannot be appointed to a Beit Din, issue halakhic rulings or lead a community. The only avenue left open to me is to use my professional tools as an artist and a filmmaker and make my voice heard by means external to the religious world.- Nurit Jacobs Yinon on “A Tale of a Woman with a Robe,” which caused the Ministry of Religious Services to change their regulations to forbid dayanim from standing directly in front of the mikveh.
