Rosenzweig Gallery
The Humanity of Us - Rosenzweig Gallery Exhibit and Opening
The Talmud teaches us “No two minds are alike (just as) no two faces are alike.”
- Berachot 58a
The portraits in this exhibit are diverse images. They are powerful representations of a moment in time. They evoke emotions, history, strength and vulnerability. What do you see when you look at these portraits? Who are these people? What do they represent to you?
The display case features colorful masks that were created by JRC’s pervious Darchei Mitzvah classes. They were inspired by quotes from famous Jewish
personalities, as well as text from the Torah. Each mask represents their unique interpretations.
Join us on after 7:30pm Shabbat services on Friday, September 20 for the opening reception! For more information about this exhibit contact

About the Rosenzweig Gallery
The Rosenzweig Gallery of Judea Reform Congregation is the only gallery in the Chapel Hill-Durham area with dedicated space for the display of Judaic art and artifacts. Judea Reform Congregation’s founding Rabbi, Efraim Michael Rosenzweig was not only the congregation’s first spiritual leader, he was also a poet, an artist, a social activist and an art collector. His personal collection of Judaic artifacts was donated to Judea Reform, and became the core of the Rosenzweig Collection. (READ THE WHOLE ROSENZWEIG GALLERY STORY . . . )
The Rosenzweig Gallery rotates every four months and includes a gallery wall for 2-D work as well as a glass display case for 3-D work and other items and artifacts.
