Jewish artists explore the visual texture of their communities
Hosted by the Aleph Society’s Global Day of Jewish Learning, the Jewish Art Salon and Jewish Art Now
About the Global Day of Jewish Learning
The 2011 Global Day of Jewish Learning will focus on the unity of the Jewish people through the words of the Shema Yisrael, the quintessential Jewish prayer. Last year’s inaugural Global Day of Jewish Learning celebrated the completion of the Steinsaltz Talmud and counted over 400 communities in 48 countries and six continents. On Nov 13th, 2011, the second annual Global Day of Jewish Learning will unite Jewish communities through the study of sacred text.
About “Global/Local”
Building upon the success of the 2010 Global Day, we are excited to announce a new partnership between the Global Day of Jewish Learning, the Jewish Art Salon and Jewish Art Now. “Global/Local” will be a virtual online gallery, accessible to all Global Day Communities. The featured work will reflect the diversity of the participating communities.
