Sinai–what was it like? What might it look like for you to stand at the site of sacred revelation? Rena Yehuda Newman (They/Them), Jewish comix artist and zine maker, invites us into Torah in a whole new way through Jewish comix art practices.
No drawing or writing experience required for this workshop. All you need to bring is a pen and paper–but you’ll walk away with your own original Torah comix and a brand new lens for encountering Torah.
In this workshop, we’ll be discussing Jewish storytelling and revelation, the relationship between Torah and image, and doing real-time writing and drawing activities, including exercises inspired by the studio of comix artist Lynda Barry. Get your Jewish creative juices flowing!
