Applications are open till July 9 for this US-based New Jewish Culture Fellowship which I've heard great things about 👇 "Fellows come from all creative fields—visual arts, writing, performance, music, and more—and apply with projects that would benefit from the feedback and support of peers similarly drawn to exploring the rich, complex inheritance of Jewish life and identity in all its forms."

Portraits by Eugene Zak (1884-1926
Eugeniusz Zak was born to an assimilated Jewish family in what is now Belarus. Zak’s father died in 1892 + his mother moved to Warsaw with her 8 year old son. At 16 he moved to Paris + there participated in the creation of the group Rytm, formed by artists of the Polish avant-garde. His career ended suddenly when he died of a heart attack at 41.
Galerie Zak was run by the artist's widow, Jadwiga. It had a reputation as one of the most interesting galleries on the left bank, sponsering shows of Polish + Jewish artists including Kandinsky's 1st Parisian one-man show. Galerie Zak was looted + liquidated by French collaborators + Jadwiga + her son were murdered in Auschwitz by the Nazis. Many of the looted artworks are still missing.

You're invited to join the The Spinoza Havurah for an Arts Farbregen (led by myself) this Saturday at 10 am Eastern/3 pm UK.
(Registration link below)
The focus of our discussion for the farbregen will be some works of visual art, with each work of art being using as a spark for conversation, but we will also close our time for our humanistic Kaddish, as well as kiddush and Ha'motzi.
We will also have an optional arts activity that participants are welcome to engage in during our discussion time. If you want to participate, all you will need is some paper and your favorite drawing tools (pencils, colored pencils, ink pen, markers, etc.)

🎨✡️ Learning Hebrew through art? Yes, please!
When you create something with your own hands—like coloring Hebrew words and Jewish traditions—it sticks in your mind and heart in the most powerful way.
That’s why I teach Hebrew not just with lessons, but through art in my Hebrew Words & Jewish Traditions Coloring Book. It’s not just learning… it’s experiencing the language.
🖍 Every page is a chance to slow down, connect, and bring Hebrew to life—your way.

Among the trees is the one place where Reboot Network member Tiffany Shlain has always felt spiritual. Walking through the majestic redwoods of nearby Muir Woods feels like being in a cathedral of wisdom, of living beings that were witness to all of humanity. This deep connection led her to create a series of tree rings, including her latest, DendroJudaeology: A Timeline of the Jewish People, co-created with artist and professor Ken Goldberg. Premiering in October in LA, it distills 5,000 years of Jewish history into 140 moments on a tree ring slice. Dendrofemonology, A Feminist History Tree Rings runs through October 19 in NYC.

A NYC conference celebrates the cultural creativity of formerly Orthodox Jews, by Andrew Silow-Carroll
September 12, 2024"Seidman says there is a growing curiosity within Orthodoxy about those who leave. For her 2022 podcast, “Heretic in the House,” she interviewed “believers and heretics” and found what she called “a kind of openness and respect that was not available even 10 years ago.”
“It has something to do with just the number of people who are leaving,” she said. “Many people in the Orthodox community have this experience, and there are these efforts to understand us.” Newfield estimates that as many as 10,000 people might describe themselves as formerly Orthodox."

From JTA: This piece is one of 12 multimedia works on view at Shlain’s debut solo exhibition, “You Are Here,” on view at the Nancy Hoffman Gallery (520 West 27th St.) beginning on Thursday, Sept. 5. For Shlain — a San Francisco-based multi-hyphenate whose previous credits include several films about feminist history, including “The Tribe,” a humorous examination of American Jewish identity through the lens of Barbie — the body of work is an outgrowth of her Shabbat afternoons spent among the redwood trees in Muir Woods National Monument and other state parks nearby.
