Midrash Manicures

9/13/2011

Apologies for the silence. When you're a rabbi in a congregation, the month leading up to the High Holidays tends to get a little nuts. I've been seeing a lot of wonderful (and thought-provoking) art this past week, and I hope to get to share it with you soon.

In the meantime, I want to leave you with a little teaser for next week's guest post by Rabbi Yael Buechler. 
Picture
Yael, creator of Midrash Manicures, has been painting nails since she was in middle school. And I remember her starting her own nail business when we were both students at Brandeis University. 

Now she uses her fingernails as a platform for Jewish education. In her weekly blog she shows off her parasha (or holiday, etc.) themed nails, adding some commentary for the reader along side. 

This week's parasha, Ki Tavo, speaks of mitzvot for the city and for the countryside - both of which are depicted on her nails. Interestingly, when I first looked at this picture, I associated the two hands with blessings and curses, both of which are also discussed in this week's Torah portion. 

Look for more from Yael next week, when she's back, writing about the what's, how's, and why's of Midrash Manicures.
