CALIFORNIA - The Contemporary Jewish Museum's upcoming exhibition "Do Not Destroy: Trees, Art, and Jewish Thought runs February 16 through May 28. It features Contemporary artists’ views of the tree throughout Jewish tradition. The title comes from a commandment in Deuteronomy that forbids the destruction of trees during wartime. The show is two-pronged: One part continues the Dorothy Saxe Invitational, which calls for artists from diverse backgrounds to explore a Jewish ritual object; the second features contributions by international artists known for creating tree-themed works. 736 Mission St., S.F., (415) 655-7800, http://www.thecjm.org/.
