Saturday, November 15 at 9:30 am and 7 pm Sunday, November 16, at 10 am
Get ready for a super weekend as Temple Israel hosts Jordan Gorfinkel, or “Gorf,” for its Artist in Residence weekend.
Gorf, a former editor of the Batman comics series and author of the Passover Haggadah Graphic Novel, will demonstrate – through words, film clips, and art – how to “Make Judaism Your Superpower.”
He will speak at the Shabbat morning service, Saturday, Nov. 15 about the connection between superheroes in comic books and the Torah.
That evening, Gorf will offer a multimedia presentation, using Marvel and other film clips, on how pop culture icons affirm Jewish values. The event will begin with Havdalah.
The weekend culminates with a cartooning workshop, Sunday Nov. 16, in which participants will create their own Jewish-themed cartoons under Gorf’s guidance. Brunch will follow. The workshop is open to all ages, and no drawing skill is required. Admission is $5 (cash or check at the door).
