Shma Journal's Jewish Neighborhoods features Ben Schachter & Dorit Jordan Dotan

Ben Schachter - Sidney Eruv

June's issue of the Sh'ma Journal is about the role neighborhoods have played and may still play in our lives. Are certain features — the sense of being known in one's neighborhood — disappearing? Or, do we now understand the constructs of neighborhood differently? What roles do virtual communities play, and what will be their resonance and staying power? How might we create shared histories and connections that transcend geography? 

This issue features theme-related art by Jewish Art Salon members Ben Schachter and Dorit Jordan Dotan. 

More about Schachter's work about the eruv in Sh'ma here and Dotan's about Haifa's Wadi Salib neighborhood here.
