Rabbi Douglas Goldhamer, also an artist, had his paintings displayed in an exhibition opening on Friday, October 18th and will run through January 4th at Judy A. Saslow Gallery in Chicago, IL.
He uses oil, gouache, pastel and charcoal to explore mystical imagery derived from the Bible and Kabbalah. He says, “My works deal with speculative Kabbalah [Kabbalah Iyyunit] whose main interest in the inner spiritual guidance of the meditative individual, and practical Kabbalah which is mostly concerned with magical activity.
