November 8, 2022
Greetings!

Celebrate the Festival of Lights with The Art of Hanukah or explore the biblical images made by Marc Chagall in a variety of media throughout his life with Jewish Art Education (JAE) in December.

JAE presenter, Nancy Kotz, recently worked with Kol Ami: Northern Virginia Reconstructionist Community to incorporate our program, Jewish Artists and Genesis: Genesis 1-4, into their Saturday Shabbat morning service. The program content aligned perfectly with the Torah portion that morning!

At Jewish Art Education, we are dedicated to bringing the best in the Jewish visual arts to the widest possible audience. Our mission is to educate the wider world on the contributions of the visual arts to Jewish civilization.

Please let us know if there are additional individuals at your organization to whom this newsletter should be sent and feel free to forward it to others who might be interested in our programs. We look forward to presenting to your audience.

From Our Audience
Marc Chagall's Biblical Images:
Part I – The Creation of Humans (To Joshua Before Jericho)

The program was wonderful. I especially liked the way you discussed themes as well as stylistic aspects of the images.
The Art of Sukkot

The slides were captivating!

You explain things very well and make the material easy to understand.
