About the Program
For one year, a Torah scribe, Julie Seltzer will perform the deeply spiritual act of writing a Torah inside a gallery at the CJM. This religious and calligraphic act - in public, within a museum, by a woman - underscores the extraordinary artistic and ritual innovation occurring within the Jewish community at the beginning of the twenty-first century.Join Torah scribe Julie Seltzer, G-dcast.com founder Sarah Lefton, UC Berkeley history professor David Henkin and musician Elana Jagoda to explore the goals of the this year-long exhibition, as well as new ways of considering how the Torah is read, interpreted and "performed."
Note: The Scribe will begin working on the Torah Scroll in the Gallery on Monday, October 12.
(L-R): David Henkin, Sarah Lefton, Elana Jagoda. Drawings courtesy of Nick Fox-Gieg and Jeanne Stern.
