SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
After Adam and Eve had eaten the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil their “eyes were opened, and they “noticed” the presence of God with them in Gan Eden (B’reshith 3:8), so they tried to hide themselves and their nakedness. We can presume God was there all along, but they had not paid attention to the slight sound and cooling breeze of God’s presence until their new knowledge caused them to notice.
Many things can inspire a feeling of holiness if we pause long enough to absorb them. As artists, that pause for reflection can become an inspirational work that invites others to participate in holiness. The art could be tangible, like something used for a ritual, or a visual abstraction evoking a feeling of holiness. The purposeful pursuit of holiness brings us all closer to God, and artists could consider that a mitzvah.
