Our Vision
A multigenerational, inclusive, and justice-centered community centered on the development and preservation of Judaica and other Jewish artistic traditions.
Jewish life and ritual are bound to the material and sensorial realms—on Shabbat we make Kiddush on a cup overflowing with wine, and at its close, we mark the beginning of the week with the lighting of a specially braided Havdalah candle.
The practice of Judaism requires and is enriched by Judaica (Jewish ceremonial art). Yet knowledge of Judaica production is limited and, in many cases, restricted to a few specialist artisans based on gender, level of halachic observance, and location.
Our Mission:
To develop an expansive understanding of Jewish literacy that celebrates the motions, rituals, and sensorial experiences at the core of Judaism's daily expression.
To democratize the knowledge and practice of Judaica production through education and community building.
Through our programs, we endeavor to build an egalitarian, nondenominational Jewish craft movement that is rooted in the diverse wisdom and artistry of diasporic traditions.
In the coming months, look out for opportunities to learn more about Jewish craft traditions –from papercutting and bookbinding to embroidery and calligraphy. In the future, we hope to open a permanent, physical space for workshops, events, and exhibitions.
