Jewish art has always been an act of resistance.
For centuries Jews were pushed out of the artistic world by laws that barred us from training, guilds, studios, and commissions. But creativity has always been part of who we are, and it found a home wherever it could survive.
From illuminated ketubot and synagogue murals to the revolutionary works of Chagall, Modigliani, Krasner, Rothko and so many others, Jewish artists reshaped the world of art in a way that can still be felt today.
This post is a reminder that Jewish history is not only a story of persecution. It is also a story of incredible imagination, spiritual expression, and a refusal to disappear.
Our art is testimony.
Our art is survival.
Our art is joy.
