ALIT 2022 Class Page 2 Mrs. Rivka Maron, Abigail H. Meyer

Jewish History – Mrs. Rivka Maron and Abigail H. Meyer

IN THE SHADOW OF THE BEIT HAMIKDASH: JEWISH ART AND ARCHITECTURE OF ANTIQUITY WITH ABIGAIL H. MEYER AND A DAY IN THE SIXTEENTH-CENTURY VENETIAN GHETTO WITH MRS. RIVKA MARON

In the Shadow of the Beit Hamikdash: Jewish Art and Architecture of Antiquity with Abigail H. Meyer:
Join us as art historian Abigail Meyer explores the Jewish visual arts of the late antiquity and diaspora. Visual lectures will survey the iconography, history and significance of works of painting, sculpture, architecture, and material culture.

A Day in the Sixteenth-Century Venetian Ghetto with Mrs. Rivka Maron:

Since its inception in 1516 the ghetto has been associated with segregation, persecution, and exclusion.  The early modern ghetto, however, also pulsed with color and vitality.  It housed some of the most dynamic communities in Jewish history and produced some of the most colorful figures and influential works Judaism has ever known. In this course, we will take a tour of the Sixteenth-century Italian ghetto.  Our sources will allow us to study the unique personalities and minhagim that distinguished Venetian Jewry, as well as participate in varied aspects of Italian Jewish life by catching glimpses of a child’s first day of school or a mother’s joy at the birth of a daughter.  The ghetto walls were indeed exclusive, but they also produced and contained a rich and dynamic chapter of Jewish history.
