7:00 PM - 9:00 PMPARDES: Encountering the Divine
8 Tuesdays, February 4 though March 31, 7 - 9 PM
“Four entered the Divine Orchard; one died, one when mad, one lost his faith and one emerged unscathed.” Pardes is the Talmudic story (Chagigah 14b) of the search for mystical revelation. This course will explore these Talmudic tales, mystical literature (Hekhalot), and other narratives of Divine encounters.
Course Description: Each two-hour session will feature three components, each 40 minutes: Jewish Art History; Textual and commentary study; Art discussion and criticism.
Participants: Practicing artists who want to create Jewish-themed visual art. Artists working in any and all media, and at every skill level, are welcome. No knowledge of Jewish texts or Hebrew required. Each participant will have the opportunity to react personally to the text, working in the art form of their choice, and to offer and receive responses to their work.
The course will culminate in an art exhibition in the Spring.
We may add extra-curricular activities, such as having dinner together afterwards at an East Village restaurant. Collaborations and out-of-the box thinking will be encouraged.
Cost: Free for members of the Sixth Street Community Synagogue and the Jewish Arts Salon. For non-members, please register here.
