"Matzo—unleavened bread—is eaten on the Jewish holiday of Passover. The B. Manischewitz Company was started 120 years ago, two years after its founder, Dov Behr, immigrated to Cincinnati from Salant, Lithuania, in 1886. He first slaughtered and peddled kosher meat, then branched out into matzo baking. The author, Behr's great-granddaughter, chronicles the family's history and the technology for baking matzos.

Exhibited in part at The Israel Museum in Jerusalem in 2005. The film, which revisits the artist's 1995 work entitled The Leak, shows Alys carrying a dripping can of green paint along the armistice boundary that Moshe Dayan marked on a map with green pencil after Israel's War of Independence ended in 1948. The piece questions the physicality and cultural relevance of the Green Line, its function as a social and spiritual division in the city of Jerusalem, and its role in the Arab-Israeli conflict. With this work, Alys asks: Can an artistic intervention truly bring about an unforeseen way of thinking, or it is more a matter of creating a sensation of… Read More

While these monuments provide rich sources of information about iconographic preferences and artistic styles, this book argues that they further provide important, and overlooked, clues to Rajasthan's charged early political history. In analyzing sculptural style and iconographic programs within chronological and regional parameters, the book proposes that the Gurjara Pratihara presence in Rajasthan was… Read More
