A guidebook to the most current trends in contemporary Jewish art and design, 'Reinventing Ritual' provides an unprecedented look at the work and thought of contemporary artists as they respond to the needs and practices of traditional culture. Beautifully illustrated with new art from Israel, Europe, and the Americas, this publication features both traditional and avant-garde sculpture, textiles, architecture, metalwork and ceramics by forty leading artists. Author Daniel Belasco surveys current trends in Jewish ritual art and the influences of feminism, environmentalism, multiculturalism and new media; Julie Lasky provides a groundbreaking discussion of the role of recycling and social consciousness in contemporary Jewish design; Danya Ruttenberg, a recently ordained rabbi, offers a lively perspective on the constantly evolving Jewish impulse 'to concretize the encounter with the Divine'; Arnold M. Eisen writes an absorbing and personal commentary on the role of ritual in Jewish life today; and, Tamar Rubin contributes an illustrated timeline covering key Jewish cultural and historical events from 1994 to 2008.
