About this episode

Join artist, Beth Grossman for a tour of her traveling interfaith art exhibit, Our Mother Mary Found, which tells the story of the Virgin Mary as a Jewish mother. This exhibition revisits the story of the iconic "Madonna," by asserting her Jewish origin as part of her identity. Ten rustic wooden household tools collected in Italy are gilded with Jewish prayers that correspond to fragments of Mary’s life. Our Mother Mary Found conveys the more pragmatic reality of a woman whose daily labor as a mother and a faithful Jew gave birth to a prophet and nurtured a revolutionary.Executive Producer/Director: Jeff DanielsAssociate Producer/Editor: Eric Nelson
