Episode 5 – Jonah and the Artist
What is the connection between the prophet Jonah and the portrait of a modern artist? Different art pieces reflect the artists’ sympathy for Jonah as a prophet who reluctantly shared his prophecy with humanity, and why? Because that it is his calling. He is obligated to deliver the epiphany that is given to him. And therein the problem lies – he does not always want to be the prophet. Join Romy Neumark for a tour around the Israel Museum in the run-up to Yom Kippur.
Point of View is a partnership between Beit Avi Chai and the Israel Museum. Each episode presents a Jewish holiday theme through the eyes of objet d’art from the Israel Museum’s collection.
