Join us on Thursday, March 14, at 7 PM to speak with Jeanette Kuvin Oren!

Since 1984, Jeanette has created installation pieces for more than 400 houses of worship, schools, community centers, and camps around the world. She specializes in glass, mosaic, metal, fiber art, calligraphy, paper cutting, and painting. Jeanette makes Torah covers, ark curtains, donor recognition art, huppot, ketubot, wall hangings, and many other items for homes and institutions. Jeanette works with architects, professional and volunteer committees, fabricators, families, and institutions who commission her art. Jeanette designed the United States Postal Service 2022-2024 Hanukkah stamp. See more on her

This is the tenth program in our Judaica Project lecture series. In these monthly Zoom sessions on Judaica, Jewish art, and what these mean to you, speakers present a different type of topic related to Judaica or Jewish art in order to prompt discussion with and among the audience. Attendees are invited to ask questions and share their own experiences at the end of this session. This series is a collaboration with the Peter C. Hereld House for Jewish Life at Quinnipiac University and is made possible by a generous grant from the Jewish Federation of Greater New Haven
