Decoding Medieval Jewish Art

Hosted By: The Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning

Pre-modern Jews are often described as “people of the book,” but Jews produced visual art over the centuries as well; images in illuminated Bibles, Mahzorim, and Haggadot that are complex and sometimes deeply subversive. How does our understanding of Torah shift when we add the study of Jewish images into our learning? Join expert medieval historian Dr. David Shyovitz for this insightful exploration of medieval Jewish art.
