NEW YORK - United Jewish Appeal | Federation of New York hosts the "The Dura Europos Project: An Ancient Site Interpreted Through 21st Century Eyes." The Dura Europos murals were created by an ancient community of Jews living in Syria, and were destroyed by the Persians in 256 C.E.. The murals today, which are on display in Syria, inspired an exhibition conceived by the Jewish Art Salon. The exhibition of 25 artists presents 21st century interpretations based on the subjects and concepts found in the ancient murals. [link]
