Feminist scholar and rabbi Dorothy Richman leads this brief investigation into the feminist implication of the biblical commandments known as The 613.
This program is presented in conjunction with artist Archie Rand's The 613, a monumental installation currently on view of 613 small canvas (20 in x 16 in) paintings arranged in a huge grid comprising 1700 square feet. They reflect on the 613 laws governing traditional Jewish behavior and were described by Peter Steinfels of The New York Times as, "rendered in the style of comics and pulp fiction book jackets, a dash of Mad Magazine, a spoonful of Tales from the Crypt, some grotesques, some superheroes, always action, emotion, drama." This is the first museum showing in the world of the full work.
Rabbi Dorothy Richman serves as the rabbi of Makor Or: Jewish Meditation Center. She teaches Torah widely in the Bay Area and has served as rabbi for Berkeley Hillel and Congregations Sha'ar Zahav and Beth Sholom. Her rabbinate has been deeply influenced by years of service with AJWS and Bend the Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice. She is soon to release Something of Mine, an album of original songs largely based on texts from the Jewish tradition.
This program is made possible by the Alan Templeton Endowment in Memory of Lieselotte and David Templeton.
