Steve Silbert, a member of Bayit’s Liturgical Arts Working Group and the lead builder in Bayit’s Visual Torah work, is the left-handed youngest son of an artistic mother and a rocket scientist father. He takes after his father in his interest in logic and science. Steve worked hard to not take art classes as part of his education. Even so, Steve has been sketchnoting since 2015, proving that sketchnoting is about ideas, not art. He uses sketchnotes in his professional role as an Agile Coach, where he teaches visual facilitation basics in software development and marketing. In 2016 he joined a group of Christians who sketchnoted sermons in their churches. Hesitant to use tablet on Shabbat, Steve began the practice of finding an online dvar Torah for each week’s upcoming Torah portion and sketchnoting concepts from that dvar Torah. A year’s worth of his Torah sketchnotes are collected in A Year of Building Torah, forthcoming from Bayit.
Here are some glimpses of his work from inside the book:
