Virtual Seminar: Rosh Hashanah Judaica with Artist Tobi Kahn

Join us on Tuesday, October 1, 6pm ET for a virtual seminar with award-winning artist Tobi Kahn in honor of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year!

The Museum at Eldridge Street is proud to feature our current exhibition Memory and Inheritance: Paintings and Ceremonial Objects by Tobi Kahn, showcasing Kahn’s luminous paintings and his singular Judaica in our historic synagogue home, inviting reflection and meditation.

How can material objects enhance the spiritual experience? Although Judaism has emphasized words and interpretation, Kahn has found the visual elements of the tradition, namely Judaica, equally illuminating. For him, spirituality is integrally bound up with the beauty of the created world. Join us on Zoom with Tobi Kahn for a look at some of his Judaica objects that are on display at Eldridge Street as part of Memory and Inheritance, and get an insider perspective on the artist's inspiration and process.

Judaica discussed in this program will include a shofar (ram's horn) holder and an apple and honey set in the shape of a dancer.

Please see the Zoom link in your order confirmation email. This program is entirely virtual.

Shana tovah (Happy New Year)!
