"60 degree Sukkah" by Filip Tejchman
MISSOURI - An art exhibition [which opened Tuesday] at Washington University's Danforth Campus explores the concept of boundaries within the framework of the Jewish holiday called Sukkot. The exhibition runs through Saturday on the lawn of the Ann W. Olin Women's Building lawn. It features the artwork of 10 finalists selected from a pool of more than 40 candidates, an article on the university's website states. St. Louis Hillel and The Museum of Imajewnation also developed the competition. Jews worldwide celebrate the holiday of Sukkot by building temporary structures known as Sukkahs, Kastner said. There, they commemorate the Jews' exodus from Egypt and celebrate the bounty of the autumn harvest. [link]
