Fourth Annual Joseph & Mollie Muchnick Selichot Lecture featuring Artist Mordechai Rosenstein on "The Art and Artistry of Jewish Life"
The Hebrew alphabet is the essence of the art of Mordechai Rosenstein: “The flowing forms of the letters have been an inspiration to me since my youth,” says the artist. Rosenstein’s love of these forms is evident in every piece he creates. His vibrant shapes and colors enhance synagogue interiors, tapestries, paintings, murals, and silk screen prints. Rosenstein’s unique style evolved as a result of various influences. He was a member of the first graduating class of Akiba Hebrew Academy, and while studying at the Philadelphia College of Art, Rosenstein was profoundly influenced by abstract expressionist professor Franz Kline. By uniting his interest in Judaica and painting, Rosenstein has given contemporary meaning to the art of Hebrew calligraphy. (More about Mordechai Rosenstein...)
The Mollie and Joseph Muchnick Selichot Lecture Endowment Fund was established by their children and grandchildren to bring speakers to our congregation on the eve of the High Holy Day season. We are grateful to their family for creating this meaningful endowment. The entire congregation is invited to join us for the Muchnick Selichot Lecture at 9:00 PM, followed by a dessert reception. In addition, Rosenstein’s artwork will be on display in the Mendelson Gallery throughout the High Holy Day season.
