SUMMARY:NYC ASL Tour: Art of Freedom: The Life & Work of Arthur Szyk
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a curator-led tour of the Museum’s newest exhibition\, Art of Freedom: The Life & Work of Arthur Szyk\, presented with ASL interpretation. This program is designed for Deaf adults. \nLed by Charlotte Apter\, Assistant Curator of Collections at the Museum of Jewish Heritage\, this tour offers an in-depth look at Szyk’s prolific and influential career. Apter\, who helped research\, develop\, and curate the exhibition\, will guide visitors through Szyk’s powerful artistic response to the rise of fascism\, highlighting how he emerged as a leading voice in the fight for freedom\, justice\, and democracy. \nThe tour explores how the Polish-born Jewish immigrant mobilized the American war effort during World War II through his anti-Nazi illustrations\, while also advocating for European Jewry and calling the world to action during the Holocaust. Art of Freedom: The Life & Work of Arthur Szyk brings together loans from private collections and newly acquired works from the Museum’s Permanent Collection\, ranging from intricately detailed illuminated texts—including his iconic Haggadah—to sharply satirical political cartoons. Together\, these works reveal how creativity can be harnessed to confront antisemitism and defend freedom. \nCharlotte Apter is the Assistant Curator\, Collections at the Museum of Jewish Heritage\, where she is responsible for new acquisitions\, cataloging\, and interpretation of the Museum’s permanent collection. She helped research\, develop\, and curate Art of Freedom: The Life and Work of Arthur Szyk.

This session is to reinforce skills\, support professional growth\, and enhance interpreter readiness and real-world Jewish mourning and funeral assignments. \nEducational Objectives: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants will be able to:\n1.

SUMMARY:JDC’s ASL Lecture Series: Jewish Symbols Throughout the Ages
DESCRIPTION:Rabbi Yehoshua’s Lecture Series II: Jewish Symbols Throughout the Ages. Through storytelling\, history\, and visual exploration\, this series looks deeper into the symbols we think we know and uncovers the layered meanings they’ve carried across generations. \nNot Just the Star of David — Jewish Symbols Throughout the Ages \nFebruary 15 & 22\, 4 – 5:30 PM EST \nTaught by Rabbi Yehoshua Soudakoff \nJewish identity has long been expressed not only through words and texts\, but also through a rich and evolving visual language. This lecture series explores the deep history of Jewish symbols\, beginning with ancient emblems such as the menorah\, shofar\, and pomegranate—motifs that appear in biblical descriptions\, Second Temple artifacts\, early synagogues\, and everyday ritual objects. We will examine how Jews used these images to convey spirituality\, communal belonging\, and connection to the Land of Israel\, even in times of dispersion. \nBut the story of Jewish symbolism does not belong to Jews alone. Over the centuries\, outsiders also produced imagery to identify\, label\, or define Jews\, for purposes that ranged from neutral to deeply harmful. We will look at how these depictions emerged\, how Jewish communities responded\, and how such images shaped both Jewish self-understanding and external perceptions. \nA key part of the discussion will center on Jewish tradition’s ambivalent relationship with visual art. What does halacha say about the use of images? How did Jewish law navigate the line between creativity and idolatry? And how did Jewish artists\, scribes\, and communities find meaningful ways to create beauty within those boundaries? \nThe lecture series culminates in a close look at the Star of David—its surprising late emergence as a widespread Jewish emblem\, its earlier mystical uses\, and the historical process through which it became a global symbol of Jewish identity. By placing the Magen David within the much broader landscape of Jewish visual tradition\, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how Jews have seen themselves—and been seen by others—across the centuries. \nExplore the Hamsa\, the Star of David\, the Menorah\, and more — where did they come from? What do they mean?⁠\n100% ASL\, created for the Deaf community.⁠\n⁠Join us and start 2026 inspired. ⁠ \nThis is a virtual learning opportunity on Zoom\, offered in ASL. \nCost: $50.00 (Free for paid JDC members). \n

SUMMARY:ASL Tour: Anish Kapoor: Early Works
DESCRIPTION:For Participants in the ASL Community\nJan. 25\, 20263:00 pm – 5:00 pm\nFloor 2 Galleries\n\n\nParticipants in the ASL community are invited to explore the exhibition Anish Kapoor: Early Works through a tour led by a Deaf educator. Please join us from 3 – 3:30 for light refreshments. \nAnish Kapoor: Early Works presents his rarely seen pigment sculptures from the 1970s and 1980s along with works on paper and the artist’s sketchbooks. The exhibition foregrounds Kapoor’s early and ongoing investigations of the boundaries of sculpture\, color\, and form. His work plays with perception\, drawing on the psychic effects of color—and its absence—as well as the allure of objects that appear to defy their own material nature. \nDue to limited capacity\, ASL students will not be admitted to the program and no voice interpretation will be provided.  \nAll Access Programs are free of charge and require advance reservation. If you have any questions or need accommodations\, please contact access@thejm.org or 212.423.3289. If you are interested in observing this program\, please reach out to us before registering.
