Genesis Paintings and Poems

Videos Featuring the Work of Artist Lisa Turtz and Poet Michael Fineberg 

Inspired by her work with Torah and Hebrew study groups at Larchmont Temple, Larchmont Artist Lisa Turtz created a series of 15 paintings exploring the Genesis stories.   Fellow Torah study member Michael Fineberg wrote corresponding poems inspired by Lisa’s paintings.  In April of 2019, Lisa’s paintings were exhibited at Larchmont Temple & their Paintings & Poems collaboration was published in a book.  Here are videos that provide an additional dimension to their In the Image of….Genesis Paintings and Poems project:
