Mehitza South Africa

Mehitza South Africa Myriam Tangi was born in Paris where she lives and works as a painter, a photographer, and a poet. Visit www.mehitza.co.za for more information.

Her artworks have been displayed in France and abroad, notably in Rome and Montreal, and are part of private collections in France, Italy, Israel, and NYC. Artist Myriam Tangi set off on a quest: to explore the psychological, spiritual, and emotional facets of the mehitza. This physical structure, separating between men and women during Jewish prayer services, has elicited much debate, but its pro

found influence on the prayers and thoughts of the women behind it demands deeper understanding. How does the separation between men and women impact on their experiences of prayer? In what way does distance from the synagogue center influence women, both within the synagogue structure and beyond? More broadly, Mehitza questions the male and female territories in the Jewish world. Myriam's photographs offer an artistic vision, a window into the feelings and experiences of the women standing behind. In this book, Myriam's exquisite work is interspersed among essays by leading Jewish scholars, which together provide a fascinating analysis of the concept of separation in Judaism. Mehitza: Seen by Women is an artistic, spiritual, and intellectual journey that unveils the complexity of contemporary Judaism. Join us at Limmud South Africa from the 3rd of August - 14th of August in Johannesburg and Cape Town. Please note all photographs and Myriam's book will be available for purchase from her website and at Limmud.
