Biblical Breakthroughs with Rabbi Israel Becker @ Southwest Torah Institute
Sep 28 @ 12:00 pm

Get a “life lift” every Friday! Join Rabbi Becker for stimulating and provocative discussions based on the Torah portion, the Talmud and commentaries. Each week participants together will “plunge” into the sacred texts leading to challenging questions and healthy debate. In our pursuit of truth our thoughts crystallize and we emerge each week with “breakthrough” lessons that reshape our values, enhance our character and bring refreshing new meaning to our lives.

Contact Rabbi Becker at 520-747-7780 for more information. The program is free and open to all men and women in the Tucson Jewish community.

You will create and sculpt a generic portrait in clay. In these classes, you will learn the bones and anatomy of the face; how to correctly block in the human face; how to use variation in forms to create “movement”; how to use relative comparison to make features the correct size, and how train your eyes to recognize natural shapes and sharp/ soft transitions.
