Seeing Torah: A Visual Midrash

Anita Rabinoff-Goldman
July 10 – September 4, 2025

About This Exhibition

Seeing Torah is a visual diary documenting the artist’s study and visual response to each of the 54 portions of the Torah over the cycle of a single Jewish year. By adding her voice to the long-running conversation that is the reading and interpretation of Torah, viewers will encounter the text in fresh ways and deepen and broaden their own explorations of it. In this way, the work is a visual midrash in the tradition of Jewish creative commentary — imaginative re-envisionings that both enhance and illuminate the text for all who seek to be refreshed by it.
