UNTITLED, Judy Dick
A note from the artist: L’dor V’dor is both a declaration and a responsibility — a living bridge between past and future. In this work, created in response to Jerusalem Day 2025, I sought to capture not just a moment of celebration, but the transmission of memory, identity, and belonging across generations. At the heart of the composition are two young boys lifted onto their father’s shoulders. Their father’s act of lifting them is practical — to give them a better view — yet it is also metaphorical. He raises them into history, into heritage, into the collective story of the Am Yisrael. The young boys are not merely observing a celebration, they are inheriting it. The crowd forms a vibrant tapestry of generations — elders, parents, youth — unified in song, movement, and color. The dynamic blues and luminous light evoke both the Israeli flag and a spiritual atmosphere, suggesting transcendence beyond the physical space. The painting’s layered textures mirror the layered history of Jerusalem itself - ancient stones beneath modern voices, memory beneath movement.
About the artist: Gayle Asch is a NYC based artist and art educator. A School of Visual Arts graduate, she explores the link between digital and traditional media, often blending the two by adding paint to digital files printed on vinyl or canvas. Each originates with a photographic image created using a variety of software and techniques. The goal of each is to blur the line between digital and real paint, with composition, narrative and colorplaying equally important roles in each artwork.
UNTITLED, Tali Margolin
A note from the artist: In my artworks I use non traditional materials, bringing a wide range of associations and emotional and psychological moods. The completed artworks have a complex surface with many nuances and unique details that reveal themselves over time. The surface is sealed with a coating of acrylic medium for decay resistance. But metaphorically the process of applying layers of materials represents my personal layered world where different places and cultures are connected to each other.

TORN BETWEEN MOMENTS, Efrat Baler-Moses
A note from the artist: My Jewish identity is a dialogue between an inherited past and an unexpected present. I once lived under the delusion that the world had fundamentally changed, but the resurgence of antisemitism has dissolved that comfort. Viewed again through the ancient prism that defined my ancestors, my commitment has only grown more stubborn. In Torn Between Moments, I collapse the front and back of a split canvas into a single fractured plane, forcing past, present, and future onto one ruptured surface. The "Wandering Jew" plant appears twice: as a ghostly, upright impression on the raw, unseen front, and as shattered wreckage on the visible side. Its pot is broken and soil spills across wooden slats. A silver revolver juts outward, its path of violence traced like a bullet trajectory across both panels. This is not a study in defeat. The harsh light pouring over the fallen plant is the spotlight our enemies direct at us. In a defiant reversal, that glare, meant to wither, becomes the force that invigorates the plant to grow stronger. L’dor V’dor is not always a gentle transmission of tradition; sometimes it is the ancient knowledge that we continue anyway, turning the light we are given into life.

UNTITLED, Danielle Atkins
A note from the artist: This body of work explores the search for transcendence in the face of the realities of a post October 7th world. Since that fateful date, a search for answers and meaning has driven me to augment my exploration of what it means to be a modern Jewish and Israeli woman with the fundamental questions of humanity and morality to be found in the study of ancient Jewish texts. These large scale constructions on canvas are inspired by my experiences as a Jewish wife and mother raising three boys in a chaotic and often hostile modern world. My gaze looks both inward, at the ever-changing female body and its perceptions as an object of desire, stability and resentment, and outward, to a broader world increasingly dominated by consumerism, isolation and antisemitism. The stories of Tamar, Ruth, and Jacob are woven together with intimate and everyday objects such as Israeli fruit boxes with the discarded belongings of my children infused with thread, staples, and paint. This project is invested in spiritual lineage and modern anxieties. Physical objects and stories from the Torah are ignited in the female form, revealing a simultaneously sacred and threatened identity landscape. Identity is shaped by memory, inherited narratives, and our ancient stories. Identity Landscapes is my attempt to render the complexity of being a woman, a mother, a Jew, and a human in a turbulent world. Through layering, stitching, and material reclamation, I hope to build a visual language for resilience, memory, and transformation.
About the artist: Danielle Baron Atkins is a painter working in Brooklyn and Woodstock, NY. Her work examines the female form as well as the many roles of women in our contemporary society. She abstracts, dissects, and exaggerates the female form. The women she depicts sit and stand in suggestive poses, often wearing stilettos. These anonymous figures exude sexuality, fertility, and motherhood. She utilizes a juxtaposition of delicate, stereotypically “feminine” colors with repetitive, aggressive, graffiti-like markings. Danielle repurposes remnants of her children’s discarded belongings such as broken headphones (used during school lock downs), worn out crocks and skateboarding sneakers, underwear bands that have lost their elasticity, socks and mittens that have abandoned their partner, candy wrappers, torn vintage comic books found under her children’s beds, old cookbooks, pill bottle tops, cardboard packages, and junk mail to accentuate her underlying themes. Motherhood has deeply affected her art making process. Danielle’s sharp observations of the roles and struggles of women create an ever-evolving definition of womanhood.
THIS TOO SHALL PASS, Carla Odell
A note from the artist: “This Too Shall Pass” is a portrait of my maternal grandmother, Jeanette, who inspired me in all things Jewish. When I light the Shabbat candles, she is beside me.

UNTITLED, Leslie Nobler
A note from the artist: Typically I invest in looking into history, looking backwards, so to speak, to create contemporary mixed media/digital, book and fiber art with both technical flair and meaningful content. I am driven to use advanced artistic tools and the media at my disposal to convey strong narratives. The process begins with art historical, socio-political and Jewish cultural research. Delving into and responding to the histories of (mostly) women across varied times and cultures, entering their spheres of creativity, and sometimes spirituality, however remotely, has taken me on a powerful journey. I can reinterpret my subjects' artworks and eras using endless mixed media and far-flung imaginative ideas. Then with all these tools, I compose a dense, complex – with a surprising blend of materials – collage. In these examples, I am celebrating the energy of our Jewish ancestors, their creativity, and the power of light, with its many metaphorical interpretations; and in two pieces I specifically honor the Jewish artist, Sonia Terk Delaunay. The candle image, in particular was created for an artist's Beit Midrash, using light's meanings as a topic; later I superimposed lines from a prayer about taking action towards justice in the world. “Theo's Double Scroll,” which is from my brand new series on endangered Jewish languages (his is Yevanic, and he is reviving it in his own special way), comprises photography, digital drawing, painting, and collage. Just like Delaunay, I aim to seduce the viewer with color, pattern and materials, offering up a deeper thought-provoking subtext, as I also hope to reawaken viewers to the beauty of ancestral languagues.

THERE SHE TENDED HER FLOCKS WITH STEADFAST HANDS, A QUIET SHEPHERDESS WHOSE SORROW AND CARE WOVE STRENGTH INTO THE LIVES SHE WATCHED OVER, Donice Kaufman
A note from the artist: A mixed-media collage combining layered lace, textiles, aged paper, ink, acrylic, and oil pastel to represent Rachel, wife of Isaac and shepherdess, to evoke pastoral serenity and quiet guardianship. Collage elements coupled with textured paint create a timeless, intimate portrait of care, desire, and the intertwined lives of caretaker and flock.
About the artist: Born in America, Beth has lived in Israel since 1977. She worked as a marketing and business strategy executive in high-tech and became a full-time mixed media artist upon retirement. She began sculpting about 25 years ago and has since transitioned to working in a variety of media such as wood, glass, clay, metal and canvas– often at once antagonistic and complementary. About seven years ago she began painting in acrylic, later moving to oil, in an ongoing exploration of a more abstract style. In her paintings, she explores the harmonies and disharmonies of movement, material, and color, attempting to capture the mystery of image and material.
