Join us as Rouhama Danto leads us through a fascinating exploration of the Jewish Symbolism in the Sistine Chapel.

Michelangelo lived in Florence most of his life. He was born into a Catholic family and grew up nurtured in the practice of the Christian faith. So, “Jewish Symbols and Messages”? Michelangelo had a bit of a thing for Jewish Mysticism. Michelangelo demonstrated it in the hidden messages on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel?
