Hutzpah is the Tool of this 93 Year old Artist Revisioning Jewish Art and Life. Come and see how 

Half a scissors becomes the knife of the Akedah, Abraham talks to God through his  headset, Michelangelo writes to I.B.Singer on his Yiddish Underwood typewriter, Lekh lekha walks the Land of Israel in shoe trees, Moses arrives at the burning bush in an African dancing suit,  Ezekiel’s chariot is a two-wheeler, no gears no brakes, The Postal Service sends  a four story mezuzah, Ruth sneaks through the wheat stalks to sleep with Boaz, Isaac changes his mind and climbs down,  Mt. Moriah Haredi wigs escape their ritual restrictions, God speaks to the  embryos in their mother’s transparent bellies at Sinai.

Not enough for you?
