The Parsha Poster project is a series of posters "advertising" the parshat hashavua (weekly Torah portion). The posters utilize innovative Hebrew typography — each one integrates the Hebrew name of the parsha in Hebrew somehow into the illustration — and a bold, graphic aesthetic to tell Biblical stories in a new way. Please excuse the mess while this site is built!

A reference guide to the Biblical verses that inspired each poster is available in the original Hebrew and in English translation. Download both here.
The posters were first published online accompanied by poems and reflections by other fascinating and creative Jews. Find those pieces here, and explore what forms Torah learning can take.
Exhibitions
The Parsha Posters series is on the move! The series is on permament display at UCLA Hillel and at Congregation Beth Ahabah in Richmond, Virginia.
Posters are occasionally on view at Kol HaOt Gallery in Jerusalem, where books and sets are for sale in Israel. Touring exhibutions have visited the Merage Jewish Community Center of Orange County in Irvine, the Simon Family Jewish Community Center in Virginia Beach, the Saint Paul JCC, and Temple Isaiah in Los Angeles, among others.

Workshops
I have had the privilege of working with communties around the country to create their own Parsha Posters, both with students in elementary and middle school attending Sunday relgious school, as well as with adults at events like Limmud Seattle and NewCAJE. Let's talk about how I can bring this program to your community! I begin by speaking about the fundamentals of minimalist design and about my inspiration for the project. Then I assign biblical texts for participants to read and discuss in small groups. After sharing their insights, participants design and present their own posters as a way of reflecting on Torah learning through visual art. This workshop can be done in an hour or can fill a multi-hour block (like a full Sunday morning at a religious school), or be divided over multiple sessions.
