Textiles are central in Jewish religious practice, from challah covers that grace Shabbat tables to prayer shawls draped over shoulders in synagogues. Alongside their central place in formal Jewish life, the creation of textiles has played an important role in the lives of Jewish women.
In partnership with Tablet, we invite you to join us at the Museum on September 6 at 7:00 pm for a discussion about how textile arts became a form of resistance, remembrance, and cultural preservation during and after the Holocaust. Tanya Singer, media industry veteran and writer, and Bernice Steinhardt, co-founder of Art & Remembrance, will join us for a conversation followed by a Q&A.
Discussion in English.
