ARTIST TALKS

I love giving presentations about Judaism and my work. I love sharing with others and building bridges; visual presentations
are a good starting point for conversations. And, I love having a dialogue with the audience.

Below is a list of seventeen suggested topics for presentations in synagogues and other religious institutions, libraries, schools, community organisations, and retirement centers.

You can read about me as a presenter here.
