Art Show Explores ‘Spiritual Defense’ of Holy Land
As the war raged on in Gaza this summer, many Jews from around the world asked themselves “what can I do to help my brothers and sisters in the Land of Israel?” There was an outpouring of love and support from many, with demonstrations, food drives for the IDF, donations and more.
The Creative Soul Gallery in Crown Heights is hosting a group art show titled ‘Spiritual Defense,’ exploring the power of Mitzvos and positive action in the defense of Israel.
The opening reception is scheduled for Monday, September 8th, at 8:00pm at the Creative Soul Gallery: 386 Kingston Ave., Brooklyn, NY. The wine & Cheese reception is open to the public and sponsored by Natural & Kosher Cheese.
The idea behind the show is – in addition to the obvious need of the IDF to do its job keeping the people of Israel safe, what can we do to help?
We can clearly see the hand of G-d protecting his people. As we read from the Torah recently “…The eyes of G-d are on the Land of Israel, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year” (Deuteronomy 11:12). G-d protects the land of Israel, and the People of Israel.
The Torah states that the true protection of Jews everywhere and in the land of Israel comes as a result of the fulfillment of the Mitzvos. “If you go in my statutes… and I will grant peace in the Land, and you will sleep (peacefully) and no one will frighten you” (Leviticus 26:3-6).
It doesn’t matter how many Mitzvos one has done until now, or how one identifies Jewishly, each Mitzvah brings protection for the Jewish people in Israel and worldwide. Our positive actions/Mitzvos create a spiritual defense for Israel.
The show is curated by Rabbi Yitzchok Moully of The Creative Soul and Elyssa Wortzman of the Jewish Art Salon. The show aims to engage the audience in a dialogue on the ways in which the Jewish community throughout the world can stand together with their brothers and sisters in Israel, through the power of Mitzvos.
The show will feature work by Alyse Radenovic, Batya Kuncman, Bonnie Kozek, David Baruch Wolk, Dovid Orlansky, E. Rosen, Elyssa Wortzman, Hila Ben Itzhak, Leah Raab, LNM, Lynn Russell, Mushkie Silman, Natalia Kadish, Rivka Nehorai and Yitzchok Moully.
The show will be on display at the Creative Soul Gallery from September 8 – October 5. The gallery is open Sunday – Thursday, 10:00am – 3:30pm.
