RETHINKING EXISTING RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS ON PUBLIC BUILDINGS From YU Museum’s curator.  Follow him at zcurator.tumblr.com Today, any suggestion about placing a symbol rooted in religion on, in or in front of a public building stirs up a whirlwind of controversy.  Yet, only a few decades ago, such references to the Hebrew bible in particular were common references to what was perceived as the ‘Western’ legal and cultural tradition.  It would be common to see reliefs of Moses beside Socrates, Goethe, and Copernicus on a library or museum. This particular image is on the front of a courthouse in downtown Brooklyn.  YU Museum’s curator offers a way to re-interpret it for today. Have a wonderful weekend!  Thanks zcurator! AND MOSES SAID, “I ORDERD THE TOFU SCRAMBLE! SEE YOU IN COURT!”  In this one of two reliefs on the facade of the court house in Brooklyn on Adams Street (adjacent to Borough Hall), moses might be seen bringing the Ten Commandments ‘down to the people.’ It is meant to allude to a conception of a western legal tradition rooted in Judeo-Christian text. Yet, inscribing such scenes on public buildings is largely taboo today because they refer to a particular religious tradition, and perhaps can be regarded as perpetuating a theistic vision cosmology.  HOWEVER, this being Brooklyn, which is perhaps the heart of the great North American brunch tradition today, and considering that we’re living in a particularly litigious moment in American culture, we might understand this image as a Moses so irate that his brunch order was screwed up, that he took the restaurant staff to court.  Yeah, that makes sense.

IT’S GETTING HOT OUT THERE, AND IT’S AFTER MEMORIAL DAY!

As heats up, it might be a good time to start wearing white.  But you only have a few months! Even though, wearing white after Labor Day is not necessarily frowned upon anymore, every time I wear white I know that my bubby (grandmother) will say, “No whites after Labor Day!”

(right) Uniform. White lab coat with: collar; wrist-length sleeves with button closure; gathered at waist; pocket over right breast inscribed Social Service; 2 pockets in skirt. chest: 17 1/2 in.; waist 12 1/4 in; skirt length waist to hem 24 1/2 in.

DREAM BIG OR GO HOME-BACK TO SCHOOL! College is the opportunity of a lifetime. In addition to providing great friends and inspiring teachers, higher education helps you to nurture your dreams. Dream big this semester…Dream of being an artist like these students! Photograph showing men and a woman seated in a brightly-lighted room. In the center of their chairs are three benches, one topped by a pot on three feet; the second with a classical bust of a man (the poet Homer); the third with striding lion. An older man stands by the chair of one of the students. At the far end of the room is a six-pointed star above a cabinet containing busts. #37. Slide. Technicum (Technion) - Drawing [class].

IS IT WRITTEN IN THE STARS? WHAT WILL YOUR FATE BE THIS YEAR? CHAG SAMEACH! This is the perfect time of year to consider what your thoughts are on life, destiny, coincidence, and chance. Live in the present but it’s also important to think about your past and future, and enjoy all the opportunities that come with the new year. Children looking into a telescope.

From Robin Cembalest at letmypeopleshow for what will surely be a fantastic discussion at the DCJCC on October 22nd. Robin will be speaking at YUM October 24th for Close and Personal - Jewish Women Artists and Their Graphic Diaries.  Funny, I Do Look Jewish: I spend most of my time creating editorial content for ARTnews, where I am executive editor. But on October 22 I’m speaking at the Washington DC JCC about my career covering Jewish art—for the Forward, where I was arts editor, and now Tablet magazine, where I am galleries columnist. But what is Jewish art anyway? Defining that term is at once academic exercise and parlor game, a process that inevitably reveals more about the person doing the deciding than it does about the artist in question. Is it the Impressionism of Pissarro; the haunting paintings of Ross Bleckner, who once told me he’s “Talmudic”; Tami Ben Tor’s provocative Women Talk About Adolf Hitler video; the confessional women’s graphic novels now at Yeshiva University Museum; or Adi Nes’s staged photographs re-enacting Jewish and Christian biblical scenes in contemporary settings—or the heal-the-world ecological activism of Mierle Ukeles, the official artist of New York’s Sanitation Department? These artists, along with Chagall, Kitaj, Jack Levine, Max Liebermann, Man Ray, Gustav Metzger, Charlotte Salomon, Eva Hesse, Michal Rovner, Yael Bartana, Sigalit Landau, Komar & Melamid, and a host of others past and present will show up in my wide-ranging presentation.  Reservations are encouraged. So if you want more information, please click here. Adi Nes, Untitled, 1995. Courtesy Jack Shainman Gallery, New York.

IT’S NEVER TO EARLY TO START SENDING OUT YOUR GREETING CARDS! CHAG SAMEACH! Sending out “Happy New Years” cards around Rosh Hashana is great way to show you care. Have you written yours yet?

YOU KNOW YOUR ABC’S AND YOUR 123’S, NOW IT’S TIME TO LEARN YOUR ALEF BET GIMMEL’S AND YOUR AHAT SHTEIM SHELOSH’S! BACK TO SCHOOL!

Let’s face it your English isn’t getting any better, if you’ve passed fifth grade, you’ve already conquered the English language, or at least enough of it. Now it’s time to move on to Hebrew. Plus, everyone in our world today speaks at least 3 languages, so you better get moving.

IT’S HARVEST TIME! HELLO TO FALL! There’s a wonderful feeling in the air when farms are beginning their fall harvest. The aromas of ripe vegetables, dried hay, and the sweat of workers mix with crisp air and bring excitement for the new year. In 1934, these women worked expectantly for the fruit of their labor.
