Taught by Prof. Azzan Yadin Isarel in partnership with New Lehrhaus: The Bay Area Hub for Adult Jewish Learning

Though we generally think of commentary as a written medium, in fact there is a rich and fascinating body of artistic commentary to the Bible. Just as a writer must choose what elements of the story to focus on, every artistic depiction represents a series of choices regarding content, emphasis and mode of representation. In this course participants will examine biblical art as a form of commentary. Our focus will be on two narratives: the binding of Isaac and Ruth And Boaz on the threshing floor. There will also be an opportunity for participants to introduce and discuss images that they find noteworthy.
