  • Is there a distinct definition of Judaic art, and if so what does this art entail?
Defining a category of art in terms of Jewish culture, ethnicity, religion, and language, reflects an expression of merging cultural fusion within the Jewish community and the Diaspora (the movement and integration of Jewish people around the world).

      Why I Love Israel and the Jewish People      When people ask me why I love Israel and the Jewish people, it is my heart that responds first before my mind expresses my answer. To put it directly, I have so many reasons why I love these blessed people. I could tell plentiful tales about my experiences traveling to the tiny nation, or I could exemplify and expound on the timeless accounts of their historical significance. For now, I will simply stay with the basics to illuminate just how precious these people are to me.      When I did travel to Israel for the first time in 2012, I really had no idea what to expect.
