Synopsis

Torah meets Art

How can contemporary arts provide answers to questions raised by Torah?

Sara Rich

How does artistic interpretation expand or limit our interpretation of biblical text?

Must a learner study the biblical text before approaching interpretive art?

Are all interpretations of the Bible valid?

New sugia: Don’t Make an Image – What is the benefit of this biblical commandment? What might we be missing out on?

Sources for “Don’t Make an Image” Exodus 20:3-4 – Thou shalt not make a graven image… http://mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0220.htm This is a history of the prohibition in Jewish sources: http://www.myjewishlearning.com/ask_the_expert/at/Ask_the_Expert_Graven_images.shtml  The bird’s head haggadah is done out of necessity, showing human forms with bird heads so as not to violate the prohibition: http://jhom.com/topics/birds/haggadah.htm But, does that add to the effect, or is it a distraction?
