From 2010 to 2012, I taught the art elective at Congregation Kol Ami, Salt Lake City's reform and conservative synagogue. Among many things, students made needlework kippot and clay Golems. They learned about Noah's rainbow, synagogue architecture and the symbolism of the Israeli flag. We printed apples for Rosh Hashannah, made masks for Purim, studied eucalyptus trees for Tu b'shevat, and miniature paper succahs for Sukkot.
