Reconstructing Judaism recently commissioned two black Jewish artists from within our circles, Ayeola Omomara Kaplan, and Marjorie Salvodon, to respond to the Movement Wide Day of Learning on Reparations through a piece of visual art.

Reconstructionists understand Judaism to be the Evolving Civilization of the Jewish people.  Art is just as much an authentic and invaluable expression of Jewishness as prayer or Torah study. There art pieces provide another civilizational entry point for engaging Jewishly with the complex and provoking topic of reparations, helping to deepen our racial justice education and commitments in a Reconstructionist fashion.
