Kenneth Treister’s Eight Days of Creation will be permanently exhibited at the Sue and Leonard Miller Center for Contemporary Judaic Studies. The collection will have its premier to the public, on Wednesday, December 9 at 7:30 p.m. The “Creation Collection” will provide insight into the very essence of the biblical story of creation, particularly in a cultural and spiritual sense – one that all can understand and appreciate.

Treister, a renowned architect, sculptor, painter, photographer, author, and lecturer, is perhaps best known for his sculpture for the Holocaust Memorial on Miami Beach. The new collection , which was created for the Miller Center, contains eight original oil paintings. The Miller Center will host a special Robert Russell Memorial Foundation lecture by the artist and Rabbi Edwin Goldberg of Temple Judea at the opening. A reception with light refreshments will be held. Seating is limited. RSVP by e-mailing [email protected] or calling 305-284-6882.
