Hipsid With Rabbi Simcha

Even the most incisive, prolific, gifted artist can feel daunted by the dreaded “Talk.” That is, the request to speak on demand about their work. Listen to a couple of prominent millennial Jewish artists assess what’s meaningful to them in their work. Arielle Stein earned her BFA at NYU in 2014. She has since spent time as artist in residence with Art Kibbutz and the Stony Point Center, and is a 2018-19 New Jewish Culture Fellow with Brooklyn Jews. Arielle's work has been shown in the US and abroad,  and has been published in Barbed Magazine, HCE Review, Triangle House Review and At the Well. Jessica Tamar Deutsch is a New York based artist. Her work explores the intersection of ancient tradition and contemporary culture. She earned a BFA in illustration from Parsons School of Design. Her first published book, The Illustrated Pirkei Avot, is available in print.
