PEOPLE

IN THE NEWS Michigan's Flint Institute of Art is currently exhibiting “Function, Form and Fantasy: Ceramics from the Dr. Robert and Deanna Harris Burger Collection” Temple members known to us as Bob and Debbie have been collecting contemporary ceramic works of art since the 1970s. Debbie, a Flint native, has ties to the art institute having enjoyed ceramics classes there in her youth. The Burgers have built an impressive art collection using the knowledge gained through studying and visiting exhibitions, galleries, studios, private collections and taking studio classes. Since 2005 they have donated nearly 250 works of art to the FIA, including over 180 ceramic works and 40 works on paper. Function, Form and Fantasy only shows a fraction of the total collection. The ceramics range from bold, expressionistic forms to simple, elegant motifs, from sizes smaller than 3 inches tall to larger-than-life. Inspired by the beautiful forms, colors, and innovative techniques used by well-known ceramicists, art works in the collection are both thought-provoking and mysterious, blurring the lines between craft and fine art. With the same sense of responsibility that museums have to the public to care for the objects entrusted to them, Bob and Debbie consider themselves caretakers, instead of simply owners of the artworks they have collected. They declare that it is their intention to share these works with others now and in the future, rather than keeping the art all to themselves. It is this generous impulse that has brought about this exhibition selected from their exemplary collection.

Thank you to the following for their dedications of Lev Shalem prayer books:

Although everyone agrees that the food of choice for Shavuot is cheese (most typically blintzes) or a Sephardic equivalent such as burekas (cheese-filled dough pockets), there are differences of opinion as to why it is a custom. Some derive the practice directly from scripture, saying we eat dairy to symbolize the “land flowing with milk and honey” promised to the Israelites.
