This body of work was inspired by two things: my fascination with wearable art (such as the pieces created by artists, jewelers or costume designers like Debra Hampton, Rob Elford, Katie Hovencamp, Jeffrey Dever, Melinda Risk, Sandra Wilcoxon, Alexander McQueen or Bob Mackie), and my interest in the rituals that are used by different religious cultures, whether they are monotheistic, polytheistic, centered in animism, or based solely upon plant-induced visionary experiences. I have…

Other than the ideological criticism, a major argument against the Uniform Civil Code is the problem of its practical application. One often faces the question as to how a Uniform Civil Code would be drafted? Every person believes in the superiority of the values of one’s religion. In such a scenario, how can the state come up with a law that is not disproportionally favorable to any particular religion but is widely accepted by people of various religions?

Therefore, initially separating himself from the audience is significant because not only does it manage to bring the religious…

There he stood; assiduously swaying from side to side, his sincere eyes expressive in one protracted, searching gaze. As he led us through our daily hebrew prayers, all around me in the Beit Tefilah - the largest prayer site at URJ Camp Newman - other Jewish teens and children were actively singing along with his every word, as though the prayers he chanted spoke to them individually. And, as we sang, the encircling nature seemed to hum and whistle along with this rabbi’s ringing voice and the…

What is Freedom? “We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” (King 3). In this quote, Dr. King addresses one must fight back for what is right. If your civil liberties are provoked, you must rise too top the oppressor.
