CREATIVE ART JOURNALING THROUGH THE WEEKLY PARASHA
Join us on a creative journey through that week’s Torah portion, using the ancient texts as a springboard for gaining Jewish wisdom and self knowledge. The Torah text will inform art prompts, and using word, color, shape, and images we will explore the inner resonance and practical relevance of the Parasha, building a personal Torah connection. No artistic experience is necessary, only the readiness to play and experiment!
The course is given in English, in collaboration with the Jewish Community in Stockholm.
Prior knowledge
No artistic or textual experience is needed, come as you are!
Course material
Course material is included in the cost for this course.
