Join us for a virtual talk with Steven Branfman, the talented artist behind A Father’s Kaddish, currently on view in the Igal & Diane Silber Vault Gallery.  A Father’s Kaddish tells the story of how Steven Branfman used the craft of pottery to help him work through his grief after the death of his 23-year-old son.

The discussion will be followed by a Q&A session, where you’ll have the opportunity to pose your own burning questions to the artist.
