How does one worship alone? How have people of different religions embraced their faith traditions during the pandemic? How have sacred texts and rituals provided comfort in these times of isolation?
Hebrew College is tackling these questions in a pandemic-inspired photography show titled “Faith in Isolation Expressed,” which can be viewed in-person by appointment from April 12 through June 6.
The exhibit also features photos from Temple Beth Elohim in Wellesley.
“All religions have beautiful things to share with one another,” said Beacon Hill photographer and teacher Brenda Bancel, who is curating the show. “I want to show how different religious practitioners who were isolated from their communities were strengthened by their faith, revealing the core values of their inherent purpose. I want to show how they embraced this time with grit and grace.”
