I intend attending this, for an afternoon of general scribal squee, and would love such company as fancies coming along.
Please join JTS Library staff on Tuesday, February 23rd from 4:30-6:00pm on the 5th floor of the Library, for our Library Open House.
You will have an opportunity to view a broad selection of rare and unique materials from the Library’s magnificent Special Collections relating to the holiday of Purim.
Curators will present items spanning the 10th-21st centuries -- manuscripts, rare books, broadsides and archival material, as well as our digital collections. The Open House will showcase our extensive collection of megillot (scrolls), many of them elaborately decorated. A well-known Judaica artist will be on hand to discuss the Purim megillah he created, influenced by his engagement with traditional Jewish texts and commentaries.
For educators, there will be a panel discussion and question and answer session from 6:00-7:00pm, led by a prominent educator from the Davidson School of Education, a practicing artist and the JTS Librarian, on how the primary materials of Jewish study can transform both the teaching and the learning experiences of students.
We look forward to seeing you on February 23rd. If you would like to attend this event, please sign up. For questions, please contact Hector Guzman at heguzman@jtsa.edu.
Please share the attached flyer with friends, students and colleagues who would be interested in joining us.
