NEW YORK— Brooklyn artist Leola Bermanzohn will create a mural in the basement of New York's Jewish Museum on Thursdays from 4 to 8 p.m., the New York Times reports. The 31-year-old artist has been recruited by the museum to paint a the piece, called Otiyot (Hebrew for “letters”), as a response to “The Dead Sea Scrolls: Mysteries of the Ancient World” exhibition.

“She is taking these tiny, intimate fragments from 2,000 years ago and bringing the words and letters to life,” said Daniel Belasco, an assistant curator at the museum, who commissioned the project.

The letters of the mural will be done in a new style of the Hebrew alphabet inspired by calligraphy, graffiti, and Jewish mysticism. Bermanzohn has said that she wants to create something calling Yiddish graffiti.

Members of the public can watch the artist at work until December 4. The mural will be on display until January 4, when the Dead Sea scrolls exhibition also closes.
