Touching a Talis Text(ile) with the Lace Midrash
Touching a Talis Text(ile) with the Lace Midrash:
Annie and Rosemary will host an hour of Talmud study with some Marxist themes of fabric manufacturing and an hour of hands-on wool manipulation to learn about each of the steps mentioned in the text from between shearing a sheep and producing a garment, manipulating wool from the Masafer Yatta region of Palestine. Then we will spend an hour in close reading of a Talmud text that acknowledges how much work goes into producing a textile. No knowledge of Hebrew is required for the text study, but you will probably end up learning some. Snacks provided.
In partnership with: Jewish Museum of Chicago, Pushcart Judaica, the Lace Midrash, Hairpin Art Center, and ACRE Projects
