Purim About Purim The festival of Purim is celebrated every year on the 14th of the Hebrew month of Adar (late winter/early spring). It commemorates the salvation of the Jewish people in ancient Persia from Haman’s plot “to destroy, kill and an- nihilate all the Jews, young and old, infants and women, in a single day.” The Story in a Nutshell The Persian empire of the 4th century BCE extended over 127 lands, and all the Jews were its subjects. When King Ahasuerus had his wife, Queen Vashti, executed for failing to follow his orders, he orchestrated a beauty pageant to find a new queen. A Jewish girl, Esther, found favor in his eyes and became the new queen—though she refused to divulge the identity of her nationality. Meanwhile, the anti-Semitic Haman was appointed prime minister of the empire. Morde- chai, the leader of the Jews (and Esther’s cousin), defied the king’s orders and refused to bow to Haman. Haman was incensed and convinced the king to issue a decree ordering the extermination of all the Jews on the 13th of Adar—a date chosen by a lottery Haman made. Mordechai galvanized all the Jews, convincing them to repent, fast and pray to G-d. Meanwhile, Esther asked the king and Haman to join her for a feast. At the feast, Esther revealed to the king her Jew- ish identity. Haman was hanged, Mordechai was appointed prime minister in his stead, and a new decree was issued—granting the Jews the right to defend themselves against their enemies. On the 13th of Adar the Jews mobilized and killed many of their enemies. On the 14th of Adar they rested and celebrated. Hadassah Hadassah Book Club Hi Book Readers: The Hadassah ladies have been meeting for twelve years to discuss meaningful books that we have read.

Let’s pretend you have just awakened, and you know you have been dreaming. You lay there trying to remember bits and pieces of that dream and put it together like a puzzle.

As you let your mind wander further, you remember brilliant, mixed-up colors, too. It seems as though the colors are strange, but fascinating, and a big part of that dream.

  • Marc Chagall Was Born in 1887 to a Poor Jewish Family in Russia
    Marc Chagall was born in 1887 to a poor Jewish family in Russia. He was the eldest of nine children. Chagall began to display his artistic talent while studying at a secular Russian school, and despite his father’s disapproval, in 1907 he began studying art with Leon Bakst in St. Petersburg. It was at this time that his distinct style that we recognize today began to emerge. As his paintings began to center on images from his childhood, the focus that would guide his artistic motivation for the rest of his life came to fruition. In 1910, Chagall, moved to Paris for four years. It was during this period that he painted some of his most famous paintings of the Jewish village, and developed the features that became recognizable trademarks of his art. Strong and bright colors began to portray the world in a dreamlike state. Fantasy, nostalgia, and religion began to fuse together to create otherworldly images. In 1914, before the outbreak of World War I, Chagall held a one-man show in Berlin, exhibiting work dominated by Jewish images. During the war, he resided in Russia, and in 1917, endorsing the revolution, he was appointed Commissar for Fine Arts in Vitebsk and then director of the newly established Free Academy of Art. In 1922, Chagall left Russia, settling in France one year later. He lived there permanently except for the years 1941 - 1948 when, fleeing France during World War II, he resided in the United States. Chagall's horror over the Nazi rise to power is expressed in works depicting Jewish martyrs and refugees.

  • My Hands Were Too Soft.. I Had to Find Some Special
    "My hands were too soft.. I had to find some special occupation, some kind of work that would not force me to turn away from the sky and the stars, that would allow me to discover the meaning of life." SYNOPSIS Marc Chagall's poetic, figurative style made him one of most popular modern artists, while his long life and varied output made him one of the most internationally recognized. While many of his peers pursued ambitious experiments that led often to abstraction, Chagall's distinction lies in his steady faith in the power of figurative art, one that he maintained despite absorbing ideas from Fauvism and Cubism. Born in Russia, Chagall moved to France in 1910 and became a prominent figure within the so-called Ecole de Paris. Later he spent time in the United States and the Middle East, travels which reaffirmed his self- image as an archetypal "wandering Jew." © The Art Story Foundation – All rights Reserved For more movements, artists and ideas on Modern Art visit www.TheArtStory.org KEY IDEAS Chagall flirted with many radical modernist styles at various points throughout his career, including Cubism, Suprematism and Surrealism, all of which possibly encouraged him to work in an entirely abstract style. Yet he rejected each of them in succession, remaining committed to figurative and narrative art, making him one of the modern period's most prominent exponents of the more traditional approach. Chagall's Jewish identity was important to him throughout his life, and much of his work can be described as an attempt to reconcile old Jewish traditions with styles of modernist art.

Saint Johns, Fl 32259 Meet the Artist Famous Painters O’Keeffe Monet Chagall Klee Renoir Van Gogh Seurat A painter is an artist who creates pictures by using colored paints to a two dimensional, prepared, flat surface. Artists use line, color, tone, and shape in many and different ways to give a painting a feeling of s p a c e, and . Various mediums can be used: • Tempera paint • Oil paint • Watercolors • Ink • Acrylic Paint Marc Chagall (Shuh-GAHL) 1887 - 1940 Marc Chagall (shuh-GAHL) (1887 – 1985) Marc Chagall was born in 1887 to a Jewish family in a small Russian village. He was the eldest of nine children. He used his childhood memories and dreams to paint magically colorful and beautiful pictures. Flying 1914 Marc Chagall embraced the philosophy A home of Chagall that love colored his paintings. When Marc Chagall was starting out in Paris, he and his artist friends were very poor.

  • Marc Chagall– Ages 10 – Adult | Online Edition
    MARC CHAGALL– AGES 10 – ADULT | ONLINE EDITION Step 1 - Introducing the Marc Chagall Slideshow Guide BEGIN READING HERE MOTIVATION Have you ever wanted to do something very much but were afraid to ask your mother, because you knew she wouldn’t agree? Maybe you put the question off, trying to find just the right moment when she was in a good mood. That’s what Marc Chagall was facing at the age of nineteen. He had discovered he loved art and had a talent. He desperately wanted to become an artist, but it was an unheard of profession in his small village. Pictures weren’t even allowed on the walls of his home, and there was no word in his language for “pictures.” There was no doubt in Chagall’s mind that it would be very difficult to explain to his mother why he wanted to be an artist. He felt she wouldn’t understand his need to show things the way HE saw them and why he wanted so badly to create beauty out of colors and shapes. One day he found his mother alone in the kitchen happily baking bread. The moment had arrived! He watched her nervously then suddenly blurted out, “Mother, I want to be a painter!” His mother was so startled that she almost dropped the bread pan! What would the family say? How would he ever make a living? These and other doubts raced through her mind. Do you think Marc’s pleading and begging convinced her he should become an artist? (YES) She ended up taking Marc’s side, and she convinced the rest of the family it was the right thing for Marc to do.

It includes exhibition catalogues, primary documents, installation views, and an index of participating artists. MoMA © 2017 The Museum of Modern Art I jo2 pages; 55 plates $ 2.00 MARC CHAGALL LIBRARY By James Johnson Sweeney Museumof ModernArt Marc Chagall has for many years held archive a key position in the world of modern art, yet this is the first volume to clar ify and define his relationship to the movements and schools on which he has exercised so vital an influence. Born in Russia in 1889, Chagall has consistently maintained an artistic in dependence commensurate with his extraordinarily subtle personal vision. His poetic imagination has created a strange world of sentiment and fan tasy, which like that of Chirico and Klee, was a prefiguration of the dream- scapes of surrealism. At the same time Chagall's fairy tale world combines a folk character with an oriental sump- tuousness in a way that is unique in con temporary pain ting. 1 His work has not been confine painting: he has achieved brilliant suc cess with his revolutionary stage d^ signs; he is a sensitive draftsman, and he occupies a place with Rouault as one of the greatest of modern print- makers. Mr. Sweeney, author of Joan Miro, Stuart Davis, and many other books on modern artists, has written a discern ing evaluation of Chagall's inventive and versatile genius.
