Sunday, November 11, 8:00pm, Professor Jordan S. Penkower, Bar Ilan University: The Ten Commandments – from the Bible to Rembrandt
In a PowerPoint presentation, Prof. Penkower will review the history of depictions of the Tablets of the Covenant and the Ten Commandments inscribed thereon, from the Bible through the Middle Ages, in both Jewish and Christian Art.  In two of Rembrandt’s paintings, the last five Commandments can be read clearly.
We will discuss the shape of the Two Tablets, the division of the Ten Commandments, the division of the Sections (Parashot) and the Jewish sources upon which these representations are based.
