The project, conceived by Israeli art- ist Shoshana Gugenheim and launched in 2007, brings together 54 Jewish women artists to create a visual Torah scroll from their inter- pretations of the weekly Torah portions. Avadenka's work depicts a parshah from Genesis, where Jacob wrestles with an angel. As Avadenka says, "a character in conflict has a strange encounter, a dream; wrestles with an unnamed unknown presence, survives; wakes in the morning, renewed, with a sense of purpose." * Vayishlach by Lynne Avadenka LOOKING TO CURE ALS Taubman Institute Director Eva L.
