Paper Midrash is sophisticated text study through a unique art practice, leveraging contemporary narratives from comic books, movies and other pop culture to inspire new insights into traditional texts. The signature program is Torah with Knives on Saturday afternoon — a hands-on papercutting workshop where you’ll have the opportunity to study text and create your own visual midrash.
