Ars Judaica is an annual publication of the Department of Jewish Art at
Bar-Ilan University. It showcases the Jewish contribution to the visual
arts and architecture from antiquity to the present from a variety of
perspectives, including history, iconography, semiotics, psychology,
sociology, and folklore. As such it is a valuable resource for art
historians, collectors, curators, and all those interested in the visual
arts.

Volumes of Ars Judaica are distributed by the Littman Library of Jewish
Civilization throughout the world, except Israel.
