Chag Sameach everyone! Happy Chanukah! With the Festival of Lights upon us, I thought we should take a look at some beautiful Chanukah paintings! The first piece is from Chaya Hindy Neugarten– what strikes me most about this painting is the richness of the colors. The blue is deep, accented by small strokes of bronze. The candles are a yellow …

This gallery is 2000 square feet and will first feature an exhibit on Allan Hirsch. The collection will circulate, so you never know what you’ll find. We’re so happy to …
Today I want to do write a feature for Anna Zarnitsky, a famous Judaica artist. Born in Irkutsk, Russia to a creative family, she gravitated towards art her whole life. She studied at the Irkutsk College of Arts and at Senezh Moscow House of Creativity, as well as several other institutions. In a careful blend of realism and abstract, Zarnitsky …

Of course, moving back to campus means I have to do quite a bit of online shopping. While online shopping has its benefits, there’s something I miss about being in person- which brings …

When I was taking an environmental science class I learned about the concept of “biophilia”: the idea that human beings thrive around nature and even something as simple as a picture of …
This week, we celebrated Tu B’Av, a holiday of love and joy. While most might immediately think of romantic love, let’s talk about all the different types of love. Judaism teaches us that we must love each other, G-d, and the entire world and the best way to express that is through joy. We show our love of each other- …
This Thursday, we fasted and mourned for Tisha B’Av- a Jewish fast on the 9th day of the month of Av that commemorates the numerous disasters in Jewish history, but most prominently the destruction of both the first and second Beit Hamikdash. Tisha B’Av follows a similar structure as Yom Kippur: a sunset to nightfall duration, no washing or bathing, …
Hi Everyone! If you’ve taken a look at our Instagram recently, you’ll see that we’ve featured a whole host of different media, everything from gouache to ink to oils. Materials and medium not only effect the process of making a painting, but also what message an artist tries to convey with their work. When most of us think of “fine …
Hi Everyone! This week, I thought we’d dive into a bit of a lesson of the past: the history behind Chabad as we know it. While in high school, I never really had the chance to learn about Chabad- I only knew it was the organization that set up Chabad “houses” all over the globe, creating places and a network …
