This community art installation is inspired by the light of Shabbat and the interconnectedness of the JCC. Each member is invited to share their light by adding their candle to walls of the gallery. Together, the community will create an installation that will grow throughout the weekend of the Shabbat in color festival, creating a multilayered mural installation made from magnetic vinyl and paint markers on the panels of the Faye and Ben Manger Gallery.
