Partners in Creation: Art as a Means of Connecting With God

"Art is a form of service of God because he created the world with so much beauty and depth, and he expects us to use it to elevate ourselves and the people around us to inspire and to build.” 🎨✨
This Rosh Hashanah, the Birthday of the world, join us in celebrating the creative spirits of Orthodox Jewish Artists and the art that brings us closer to Hashem.

About Jew in The City:
Launched in 2007 by founder and executive director Allison Josephs, Jew in the City (JITC, a 501c3) has quickly grown to be a leading voice in this generation. It is the only nonprofit dedicated to changing negative perceptions of religious Jews and making engaging and meaningful Orthodox Judaism known and accessible. This is achieved by highlighting an approach based on kindness, tolerance, sincerity, and critical thinking.
Painful experiences within the Orthodox world, caused by dysfunction and ignorance have tarnished the opinions of a sizable minority of insiders who find themselves Jewishly displaced. These traumatic versions of Orthodoxy then get amplified in modern day media and entertainment without the much needed nuance they require. This results in a distorted public perception of Orthodox Jews and Judaism, pushing less observant Jews away, creating shame around being Jewish, and fueling antisemitism.
Jew in the City addresses these challenges on every level:
*Repairing systemic issues from within - through our Tikun branch
*Rehabilitating and re-educating disenfranchised Haredi Jews - through our Makom branch
*Holding traditional media accountable for accurate reporting and creating original positive Orthodox content - through our Keter branch.
Our programs cause Jews to lean into their Judaism, create Jewish pride, and reduce antisemitism, bringing about lasting change for generations to come.

I am so glad that your videos have popped back into my life again. I never realised why I hurt so desperately that even through all the women in my family are creative I wasn’t. I wanted to be connected to something bigger than myself. I am so happy to say that I am finally finding my way to bring creative and it makes me proud of myself. Being creative is so satisfying, now I know why.
