Join artist and author Mark Podwal as he discusses one of the most fascinating Jewish legends - that of the golem, a man-like creature created by use of mystical powers. Numerous ways the golem has been depicted will be shown in a series of slides sure to delight anyone interested in Jewish history, lore, and custom as well as myth and mysticism. Podwal has received awards from the Society of Illustrators and the Jewish Book Council. His drawings have appeared in The New York Times for more than thirty-five years, and his work is represented in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum. His most recent book is Built By Angels: The Story Of The Old-New Synagogue.
