Senior Adults and Chisuk Emuna Lunch and Learn

On June 23 I offered a multi-media presentation to the combined Senior Adult Club and Chisuk Emuna Congregation Lunch and Learn program at the Harrisburg JCC, titled:  “The Legacy of the Triangle Fire – 100 Years Out.”  The program, in a lecture/recital format, was built around the biographies of several women who were young needleworkers and became and remained social activists for their entire lives.  Archival photos and calligraphic tributes to the indigent victims of the Triangle Fire rounded out the program which featured Yiddish songs of needleworkers and the labor movement interspersed among the lecture...

The five tiny ink drawings which set off the lettering are simplified abstract nods to  art, writing, music, and a joyfully creative relationship that characterize the couple’s life...

Israeli Wildflowers Ketubah

One member of this couple has 7 generations of roots in Israel!   Their choice of theme was protected Israeli wildflowers with the addition of the bride’s bouquet flowers – calla lilies.  Flanking the text are two eucalyptus trees, and in the near ground, sprigs of blooming eucalyptus.   The canopy across the top, of course, represents the huppah. When researching the trees, I found that not only are eucalyptus trees not native to Israel (they were introduced from Australia to help stabilize the soil when the swamps were drained), but also that there are species that bear little resemblence to one another in flower!   So it was back to the couple to specify exactly which type of tress they wanted.   We all learned something interesting!...
