Anita Rabinoff-Goldman is an artist whose quilts and Judaic fiber arts have been exhibited and collected throughout the United States. In a talk and slide show, she will present her labor of love,"Seeing Torah: A Visual Midrash".  The composition is an artistic response to Anita's study of each of the 54 portions of the Torah over the cycle of a single Jewish year. Through her work, Anita hopes viewers will encounter the text in fresh ways, in order to deepen and broaden their own explorations of it. In this way, she adds her voice to the long-running conversation about the reading and interpretation of Torah. Her work is a visual midrash in the tradition of Jewish creative commentary -- imaginative reconceptions that both enhance and illuminate the text. “Seeing Torah” has been exhibited at Hebrew College and at the Jewish Museum of Florida in Miami Beach.

Anita Rabinoff-Goldman is expanding her work through the media of paint, printmaking and drawing. A native New Yorker, she recently moved to the Boston area.
