Title: Noam Dworman
5” x 5” Pencil on Paper, 2025
With one hand on the alarm bell and the other around his microphone, Noam Dworman @noamdworman is as sincere in his fears as he is in his determination to battle through them. Where most people respond to the ever-rising tides of Jew-hatred by staying silent or retreating to “safer” bubbles, Dworman is ardent and outspoken. His engagement with even the most opposing views lays bare a soul grappling in earnest desperation for truth and peace.

Honored to feature artwork & Passover reflection by artist Alisa Rodny.
The Ten Plagues of Egypt
Exodus 7:14 - 11:10
What is the correct way to begin to understand the lessons of the Bible? Hashem punishes the Egyptians with the plagues but he also hardens the Pharaoh’s heart so that he doesn’t let the Jews leave Egypt.
My painting is the vision of the plagues through the eyes of a child; the plagues are finger puppets on the hands of God. The path forward is the same for us today as it was for Jews leaving slavery with Moses. We ask the same questions, struggle with the same dilemmas, fail at the same challenges and contradictions.
In the Passover Haggadah is says:
“GENERATION BY GENERATION,
each person must see himself
as if he himself had come out of Egypt”.

“The audacity that a small page of scribbles can stand amid the clamor of life is hinged upon the unsolicited testimony of one’s own voice, that persistent narration infusing sound into the surrounding noise. Each picture, like lyrics set to a tune, is an amalgamation of lines, connected fragments groping at the very texture of intangibility, and toward that ever-vanishing moment which winches and binds us inside the woolliness of space and remembrance.”

“My work is linear and meandering. I make pictures with worlds in which to get lost, and sculptures with heart, to help you find ground. My mezuzahs are whimsical, and ever evolving - celebratory markers of identity and space - of belonging and being.
What ties these seemingly disparate bodies of work together is a passion for detail, for capturing the intricacies which give us pause and presence; the things that hold us immediately in a smile, and those which echo something deeper within.”
