In this exhibition, Mark Podwal’s imaginative and inventive interpretations of woodcuts from a 16th-century Sefer Minhagim (Book of Customs) allow readers of this volume to see these historic images in a new light. Podwal brings humor and whimsy to religious objects and practices, while at the same time delivering profound and nuanced commentary on Jewish customs and history, both through his art, and through his insightful accompanying text. The exhibition will also feature various editions of the Sefer Minhagim borrowed from the Klau Library and other prestigious collections. The exhibition appears in concert with a new HUC Press publication, A Collage of Customs: Iconic Jewish Woodcuts Revised for the Twenty-First Century.
