Tikkun: For the Cosmos, the Community, and Ourselves  
Thursday, November 17, 10:00 a.m., Location: Room D
FREE

This exhibition is the latest iteration of the Dorothy Saxe Invitational, a recurring showcase in which artists from a variety of backgrounds are invited to contribute a work of art that explores a particular Jewish ritual object or concept.

This year’s participating artists reflect on the Jewish concept of TIKKUN, Hebrew for “to repair,” as a phenomenon of care and interconnectedness that is grounded in personal action, environmental responsibility, and community practice.

A CJM Educator will facilitate this tour, highlight select pieces in the exhibition, and engage your group in discussion. To learn more about the exhibition visit The CJM  website.  No registration required.
