Artists' beit midrash in Teaneck - The Jewish Standard

Participants are welcome to join Congregation Beth Sholom’s 10th annual Artists’ Beit Midrash, beginning on November 30. This year’s theme is “The Jew and the Other: Exploring the Book of Jonah.” All texts will be presented in English and Hebrew.

Participants will work with instructors to explore the theme through their own creative approaches and contribute to a public exhibit in May.

The class meets on six Sundays through Jan. 18 from 10 a.m. to noon. It costs $200. Instructors are Rabbi Gary Karlin, who has worked as a day school rabbi, a teacher of Bible and rabbinic literature, and is writing a curriculum on the book of Jonah for the Schechter Day School Network; and artist Harriet Finck, who was trained as an architect and is a collagist.

Call (201) 833-2620 or email suesuebird@aol.com. The synagogue is at 354 Maitland Ave. Go to www.cbsteaneck.org.
