Shabbat Shalom! This week's is a double portion, one of which is Vayalech.

The question we wrestle with is literalism - are the words TRUTH or just Truth? (I believe the latter.)

This journal will have blank pages for taking notes, sketches, or just musing about what the Torah or Haftarah readings for each Parashat and Yom Tovim mean to you personally.

This week's parashat is Nasso.

This poem is another lament that in the patriarchal worldview, women aren't people, they're property - and so are children. The sotah's unborn child is killed. God forbids a cuckold.

Remember the shortbread mold that fell off the wall and broke off its hanger, that I was going to paint in a rainbow motif?

To glitter, or not to glitter. That is the question.

(apologies, Shakespeare)

There is no clearcoat on here yet, so it will be shinier when sealed.

I'm fond of glitter but it might be overkill on this?

Here's my first test of a shadowbox idea.

I am pleased with this first one. I don't know why I chose this background image in particular. I printed out several and this one just wanted to go first, lol.

I'm on the lookout for cool out of copyright background images. I am also cropping and editing some of the old womble AI stuff.

There is a lot of beautiful 19th century artwork of the sort people just don't make any more. I am thinking about a series of shadow boxes, representing the priestess paths, or the major arcana, which will include a 3d figurine and space for your own meaningful items.

I'm on the lookout for cool out of copyright background images.

This week's parashat is Bamidbar.

This poem is a lament that in the patriarchal worldview, where women aren't people, they're property. In the texts women are mentioned only in passing, yet doing many ritual things.

The journal will have blank pages for taking notes, sketches, or just musing about what the Torah or Haftarah readings for each Parashat and Yom Tovim mean to you.

This week's parashat is Emor.

The poem goes with the thread on my Universeodon account about a holocaust memoir.

The same evil men justifying their hate and violence are here.

This weekend I finished up my next test design - Lady Wisdom! Strategy is her forte, and numerous arts & crafts. She was present at creation, says Psalms, and is traditionally depicted with an owl & the spear of truth.

This cast went pretty well. I do want to find some small real metal tubes for the spear.

This week's parashat is a double portion, Acharei Mot and Kedoshim.

The poems for my upcoming Jewish Wheel of the Year Journal are about finding freedom in exile and about rejecting hateful and evil laws.

You might recall from the last plaster experiment with embedding old jewelry that I wondered if excavation might be the way to go - a softer pour that would take longer to set and be malleable for a window of time.

So here is the first test of that methodology. She needs a clearcoat and some felt underneath, and then she's done.

Update - the first set of kabbalah peg icons is sold! This one was all red. I will probably do the next test set in the Four Worlds color scheme.

Or if you prefer a uniform color for the set, I can certainly do that as a bespoke project.

The secodn part of this week's double portion, Tazria-Metzorah.

I am angered by the idea that the male priesthood walks in and just throws away all of a woman's things and tears down her house - and walk out again with no obligation whatsoever to make sure supplies and housing are restored.

Where is the commandment to take care of this family? Nowhere, because it is presumed they are "guilty" of...something.

This week's Torah reading is a double portion, Tazria-Metzorah.

These ideas that women are unclean and inferior, imported from the babylonian captivity, are inserted into the mouth of Moshe, probably by Ezra and his school that edited and redacted the earlier stories and texts into "acceptable" forms.

Acceptable to whom, of course, is never explicitly stated.

Take a guess.

Been busy w/ my dayjob this past week, lol.

I made this collage just fooling around. I wanted to see if taping the pieces together on the back before gluing helped things stay in place. What happened instead is an air pocket in the center. So this one is going to hang around my workroom, unless somebody really, really wants it.

This week's is Tzav.

The poem for my upcoming Jewish Wheel of the Year Journal is about the feeling you've definitely done something FUBAR, hurt someone you love, and there's no way to fix it.

The journal will have blank pages for taking notes, sketches, or just musing about what the Torah or Haftarah readings for each Parashat and Yom Tovim mean to you personally.

The French Jewish artist Alphonse Jacques Lévy (1843-1918) often drew, painted and sculpted scenes of the Alsatian Jewish world of his youth.

This picture, "Matzo Balls," was one of several Pesach scenes he drew over the years.
