This Jewish Art Education program led by Prof. Joanna Homrighausen identifies the citation from Pirke Avot/Ethics of the Fathers that determines the role of Tikkun Olam/Fixing the World in the Jewish world and surveys the many customs developed to observe it. Through sculpture, prints and paintings, photographs, and objects of many different media, Jews are charged to give charity as the right thing to do in different times and places.

Joanna Homrighausen writes and teaches at the intersection of sacred text, lettering arts, and scribal crafts. Having earned her PhD in Religion (Hebrew Bible) at Duke University, she teaches Religious Studies at the College of William & Mary, where she has taught the biblical Hebrew sequence, the history of ancient Israel, and first-year writing seminars.
