Aitz Chaim TO HOST MIME ARTIST OFER GOREN MAY 3
The Aitz Chaim board has received the following e-mail message.
From: Motti & Chaviva Isaak
Date: March 10, 2012 3:48:14 AM MST
Dear friends
Shalom,
I hope you are well and enjoying a very happy Purim!
Ofer Goren, our wonderful mime artist, will be in the USA between April 29 and May 13. He will perform with his new program.
Please let me know ASAP if you are interested in his visiting your community.
As soon as I hear from you, I will send you a proposed schedule for his visit.
Thank you and all the best,
Motti
Ofer Goren’s program has been a good one, but our audience participation in the past has been rather minimal. If we are interested in having him come, then we need volunteers to organize it, and to help set it up and take it down.
An event organizer would be responsible for the following:
* Secure Location for the event
* Secure Lodging for Ofer
* Arrange Advertising for the event
Stephen Boyd has volunteered again to organize this event. Please watch your Ram’s Horn for further information as it becomes available.
TALMUD and the art of Ben-Zion and Marc Chagall
The title TALMUD is appropriate for this show of over FORTY prints that brings together the Biblical work of two of the most important Jewish artists of the 20th Century. Even though Talmud deals traditionally with text and not image, these images are commentaries on the text of Scripture in the best of the Talmudic tradition.
