This is a beautiful exhibition. If you're in Paris, you should go.Chagall et la Bible - Musee d'art et d'histoire du Judaisme (Hôtel de Saint-Aignan, 71, rue du Temple). Until June 5th.
Chagall was a Jewish Russian artist who spent much of his early career in France, got trapped back in Russia for the first World War, emigrated to the States for the Second, and finally settled in France afterward. He is famous for painting the ceiling of the Opéra Garnier. After the war he was invited and accepted commissions to design the stained-glass windows at not only a synagogue but also a Catholic church in Berlin. The exhibit is prints from his illustrated Bible.
