For one year, Torah scribe Julie Seltzer performed the deeply spiritual act of writing a Torah, occasionally inside a gallery at the CJM. This religious and calligraphic act - in public, within a museum, by a woman, underscores the extraordinary artistic and ritual innovation occurring within the Jewish community at the beginning of the twenty-first century. On the opening night of "As It Is Written: Project 304,805", Torah scribe Julie Seltzer, G-dcast.com founder Sarah Lefton, UC Berkeley history professor David Henkin, and musician Elana Jagoda explored the goals of the this year-long exhibition, as well as new ways of considering how the Torah is read, interpreted and performed.
