Innovative incorporation of cultural arts in Jewish education: How to enlighten the Jewish community with quality cultural arts programming

Jewish cultural arts is a developing field informed by Jewish communal service and Jewish public art. This thesis explores the emerging field and establishes a case study. Chapter one consists of an in-depth look at the educational theories of Jewish informal education, experiential education, and confluent education. This section aims to identify important components of these theories which can be applied to cultural arts programming in the Jewish community. Chapter two explores the field of Jewish public art, including definitions of public art, Jewish art, and how the two fields connect. Chapter three of this thesis/project attempts to provide a case study of the integration of Jewish cultural arts programming informed by the educational theories previously explored.
