« Go backThe Mural at Isabella Freedman For 5 days, I, along with many talented artists worked on a mural at Isabella Freedman. It was a long, inspiring, and tiring process. The theme was Mazon, nourishment in Hebrew. The mural speaks to the many relationships the Jewish tradition has with produce, as it relates to our holidays, and how it relates to our relationship with humans, the land, and with God. Hope you enjoy
