Fear

Fear is more than a feeling that we all know. Starting with the primeval fear, the concern about physical and mental health and economic survival, fear accompanies us throughout our lives, ending with fear of death. We can be frightened of something specific, but fear is diffuse, difficult to understand, and even more threatening because of it. The exhibition shows historical and present-day dimensions of fear, focusing above all on fears that have dominated Jewish history past and present. It features artistic interpretations of the subject and seeks to take a multidimensional and sensitive look at our intimate feelings.
