A Jewish Studio Process
Explore the Jewish Studio Process, a unique blend of meaningful Jewish text study, creative probing with art materials, and reflective writing, will help you replenish your energy and connect—or reconnect—with your creative spark. Carefully structured and highly intentional, our time together will help you tap into your own insights and creativity while connecting to Jewish texts in a new way. To gain the full effect of the session, we encourage you to stay for the entire block since each component builds on the previous one, creating a rich and nourishing experience. You will leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and inspired, with a deeper sense of connection to your purpose, colleagues, and the broad JCC Movement.
