On Wednesday, March 13, a week before Purim, artist and CAI member, Murray Bloom, will present his series of paintings depicting the story of Esther. He and his wife, Maya, will show us what to look for and how best to appreciate the art, while teaching us stories and midrashim about the Megillah that are referred to in the paintings.

Murray created his series of 17 paintings on the Book of Esther at the invitation of Yeshiva University, where the paintings were first put on exhibit in 1981. That same year, his painting of Esther - shown on the front cover of the March 2019 issue of The Voice - appeared on the front cover of Hadassah Magazine. The paintings have been on exhibit in locations throughout the U.S. and in South America as well.

Please see Cantor Caplan's article in The Voice for more information.

Please include the names of all attendees in the notes section.
