Please join Cantor Kleinman and the FreeBirds for an interesting talk by Elizabeth Eisenberg, a Ph.D. candidate at New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts, about the great stories of the ancient Hebrew manuscripts. Together, we will take a fascinating journey into the rich and unique visual tradition of Jewish manuscript illumination, that is uniquely Jewish, despite their prior association with Christianity.
