Virtual: The Art of the Synagogue Mosaic: The Jewish Zodiac at Museum at Eldridge Street
Explore the nuances of zodiac symbolism in Jewish synagogue mosaics on Wednesday, March 19th at 6pm ET with the Museum at Eldridge Street's Scholar-in-Residence, Dr. Regina Stein.

The zodiac appears in synagogue mosaics in Israel as early as the fourth century C.E.—why? What does it represent? How could rabbis have prayed in a synagogue which so blatantly displayed this seemingly pagan symbol? These are some of the questions we will address as we think about Jewish art in antiquity and today.
