Hi, Origami Dragon here, and today I’m going to talk about Jewish Origami. Now ‘what the ef?’ you might ask, ‘what does this jewish origami thing has to do with origami dragons?’. And you are one hundred percent right, it has nothing to do with it. Nothing at all. But it’s AWESOME. Here, look at the silly monkey.
I was browsing the web in search for some interesting origami dragon content when I stumbled upon something I have never seen before and what I actually find quite amusing: Jewish Origami. Yeah I went all caps on that one that’s right baby.
There is actually such a thing as Jewish Origami! They’ve got origami for everything these days… I mean, there are some Jewish conventions and conferences and teaching groups and stuff, here, check ‘em out:
Presentations and workshops covered topics as varied as Political Cartooning in the Middle East, Reiki’s Role in Judaism, Talmudic Responses to Tyranny, and Adventures in Tikkun Olam. For the more artistic, there were also opportunities to try your hand at Jewish Origami and Henna Body Art.
Participants have come from all walks of life and all age groups. This is a family event, complete with an innovative program for children and parent-and-child study sessions. The final product is a mix of a serious seminar, holiday camp, film and music festival.
“This was the best Chanukah party I’ve ever had,” exclaimed a 7-year-old girl as she left the party. Our two hour celebration held in Midwood Brooklyn included activities such as candle making, teddy bear decorating, Jewish origami, and cookie decorating.

They actually have origami models of the David star, some scrolls, those weird dreidels or whatever their name is etc. Here, take a look at some pictures:
And LOLWUT, there is even a whole book dedicated to Jewish Origami on Amazon! How cool is that? 
Check it out here.
Update: No way! They have 2 of these! Two books dedicated to Jewish Origami! Now if I was interested in Jewish origami, I’d be pretty darn happy. I mean, it’s twice as much as origami dragon books! Here is the second one.
