Hebrew Union College’s Skirball Museum is proud to present Israeli artist Sam Griffin’s paintings expressing resilience and hope for peace.
Israeli artist Sam Griffin grapples with the personal and collective trauma sparked by October 7th and the ensuing war. The quick, trembling brushwork and erasure of layers of paint in his disquieting landscapes and compelling biblical works express the psychological and physical intensity of war and its aftermath. His art has a powerful resonance as we seek to strengthen the empathy and mutual responsibility linking North American Jewry and the people of Israel. Griffin’s paintings, forged in the crisis of war, convey the human capacity for healing and hope for a peaceful future for Israel and humankind.

A month after the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1933–2020), award-winning Israeli-American photographer Elinor Carucci (b. 1971) was hired by Time magazine to photograph the collars of RBG as a commemorative piece. The twenty-five neckpieces captured in these photographs offer insight into RBG’s legacy. Each one, whether bold, ornate, or subversive, is a powerful point of entry for exploring Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s life and her tireless work on America’s highest court. The stories behind these collars honor the lives she touched, the freedoms she defended, and the Supreme Court opinions that changed the course of history. Complementing Carucci’s photographs is a selection of jewelry and amulets from the collections of Hebrew Union College’s Skirball Museum. Like the collars, these objects of material culture explore the societal and religious aspects of adornment throughout history.
