As an organization, we understand that connecting to one’s Jewish identity must find expression in thought, but no less so in the world of the soul and the emotions.
Although study and intellectual ability are essential to understanding Jewish culture and tradition, connecting to Judaism from an emotional place offers another, deeper dimension of meaning and personal connection. Today we see clearly that the need to connect from that emotional place is especially significant. In a world where information is instantly available and life is packaged through digital media, emotions and personal experience serve as important measures for listening to oneself and for forming a deep connection with Jewish tradition. That is why we present here, to the wider public as well as to the organization’s own programs, the finest artists and creators in the field of Jewish art. Most of them are members of our staff, with rich experience in making Judaism accessible to the general public.
