Nativity scenes are inherently political. They declare that God dwells in the lowliest of places, among the marginalized and dispossessed. That’s the true spirit of the holidays.
The Egalitarian Vision of Nativity Scenes
In all its artistic iterations across millennia, the nativity remains inherently political in its depiction of God choosing to enter the world in marginalized circumstances.

Jewish Currents is looking for a new editor in chief.
I learned so much from Arielle and thankfully, she's not leaving. But whoever takes on the role of editor in chief will be leading the magazine in a very exciting time of expansion.

Typo of the day 😂😂
This year is the 400th anniversary of the death of Sofonisba, but ‘it seems that not a single exhibition is being held to mark the occasion. So, if you want to see Sofonisba’s paintings, you will have to do a good deal of travelling and pick them off one by one.’ Nick Trend provides an itinerary
In search of Sofonisba
The 400th anniversary of the death of an artist who was hugely acclaimed in her lifetime is going mainly unmarked by museums – which means that devotees have their work cut out to see her paintings…
