Shone Toyves Make & Take Workshop: a 1-2 hour mini workshop in which participants will learn about the historical phenomenon of Rosh Hashanah postcards and elaborately constructed pop-up cards. Looking closely at three examples, I will lead a brief discussion of their iconographic, linguistic, and material dimensions - asking the group to consider what they might reveal about the lives of the people who sent them. Participants will then have the chance to create their own shone toyves using templates based on the renowned artwork of Chaim Yisroel Goldberg.Join UTK print making graduate student Etai Rodgers-Fett to learn about the history of Rosh Hashanah pop up cards.
