Traditionally, Responsa are rabbinic answers to questions.
MARSHA PLAFKIN
I earned a B.A. in Philosophy from Calvin College and an M.A. in Interdisciplinary Jewish Studies from The Jewish Theological Seminary of America (JTSA). While in New York, I studied life drawing at the Art Students League.
My JTS degree includes a year at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. I devoted each Tuesday to studio work with John Byle at the Bezalel Academy of Art. Byle helped me establish an enduring method in painting.

JTS did not offer an interdisciplinary pathway for studio art and academics. So after graduating from JTS, I studied illustration at the Parsons School of Design with an eye toward contemporary Jewish art and design.
After five years of non-profit work, including as Hillel Director for UC Davis and Sacramento State, I enrolled in the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies in Los Angeles.

I did not complete Ziegler but did serve as rabbi for SW Temple Beth Torah in Gardena for three years while on-leave from Zielger and following. SW Temple Beth Torah became Congregation Beth Torah when relocating to Torrance, California.
ART AS RESPONSA is known for Hebrew text-based art programming and manufacture of my custom Judaica.
