Joel Mesler’s Dear Rabbi at A Hug From The Art World features his own rabbi paintings alongside works from his vast collection of overlooked Judaica. What began as rescuing unwanted paintings evolved into a meaningful practice, bringing rabbis back into contemporary art discourse. The show interweaves Mesler’s pieces with collected works, plus hand-colored lithographs, offering a playful yet reverent meditation on memory, purpose, and cultural continuity.
