It is a well-known fact that human history was first documented in symbols and images. From prehistoric cave drawings and ancient hieroglyphs, one’s ability to communicate through images has proven to be an invaluable skill. It holds clues to life in the past. It also enables us to have a well-rounded understanding of historical events, situations and people.
Fortunately, our written language today is no longer satta matka limited to hieroglyphs, cave drawings and oral texts. There are over 7,000 languages spoken worldwide. We also have translators that can readily translate just about every existing language and dialect. However, this does not stop contemporary artists from still using symbols and imagery to represent abstract ideas.
Today, art, namely Jewish art and culture, is widely used to express religious beliefs, devotions and inspirations. Religious culture alone has inspired some of the most remarkable and impressive works of art ever created. This includes paintings, photography, sculptures and drawings. The most successful artists are those whose artwork is displayed in private and public collections across the world.

There are many themes to Jewish Art, as Judaism has a very rich culture to “draw” on (pardon the pun). Every Jewish holiday, bar/bat mitzvah, wedding, funeral, “bris,” “shul kiddush,” Siyum HaShas, and random events like a minyan on an El Al flight (to the chagrin of the stewardesses and other passengers) are tasteful and distinctly Jewish. Playing with the Hebrew letters, including verses/pieces from Tanach, to form shapes and body parts is also Jewish art, much of which is for sale.
