Be sure to reserve your place at the table for a delicious brunch and an answer to an age-old question about art: “What Makes A Work Of Art Work.” Join art historian and writer Joyce Beckenstein on Sunday, Nov. 9, at noon, in the shul’s community room for an eye-opening presentation on how to read “visual language.”

Today, we are relentlessly bombarded with images from digital media, streaming videos, and phantasmagorical imaginings intended to manipulate our opinions, decisions and perceptions.

This presentation will explore the language of art through familiar masterpieces — their beauty and how the skillful use of light, shape, color, and line conspire to influence your response.

Donation $18. Your invitation is on its way with sign-up information for this November event.
