This workshop invites educators to visit the galleries and engage with Jewish ceremonial objects, and Jewish art more broadly, from across continents. Created to bring intentional beauty to rituals at home and in synagogues, these historic and contemporary works of ritual art, known as Judaica, speak to the varied customs and wide geographic and cultural diversity of the Jewish people. Through the workshop, educators learn how these works of art can support teaching about Judaism and Jewish communities past and present.

The workshop is part of a “World Religions in Art” program series for the 2025–26 school year. Join us for another educator workshop, Teaching with Hindu Art: Depictions of the Divine in Prints, Paintings, and Sculptures, on March 26, 2026. Throughout the year, student-focused webinars also take place that feature artworks connected with five major belief systems: Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
