Parashat Vayikra
March 19, 2021
Each week, Professor Avigdor Shinan or Professor Rabbi Dalia Marx will speak with the museum's curators about the prominent figures and the issues that arise from the weekly Torah portion or the Haftarah. The sessions are filmed in the natural environment of the works and the exhibits in the museum halls. In this way, Jewish texts and their interpretations are examined against the world of images and museum exhibits, and the combinations create a new and completely unconventional point of view.
This meeting, with Daniella Shalev, curator and head of the department of educational programs, deals with Parashat Vayikra: Graven images - "and maketh it after the figure of a man”.
