But most importantly time for me to slow down a bit ,and be grateful for so much!
Hoping this new year will be a great one!

Today in addition to its being a Jewish fast day - Today in addition to its being a Jewish fast day -10th of Tevet- commemorating the siege on  Jerusalem leading to the destruction of Solomon’s temple - it was also dedicated in Israel as the national day of mourning for all the victims of the Holocaust whose date of death is unknown!  On this day we all say the Kaddish /mourners prayer in their memory and light the traditional 24 hour memorial candle in their memory!

These are crazy times for everyone and as an artis These are crazy times for everyone and as an artist who thrives on social interactions to help fuel the creative juices -these Covid times have been most challenging .The light has been social media and the magic of the web giving the feeling of still being connected. Most wonderful is when you connect with other creatives across the globe and have your work shown and shared! Big thanks to -@Adrienne DeLoe - for including my piece in the “Pandemic Self Portraits “ show in Denver Colorado!@next_gallery_denver Hoping for future collaborations.

It’s funny how things go in these challenging an It’s funny how things go in these challenging and confusing times especially for artists. A chance encounter with the curator @amit_hai_cohen at last years @jerusalembiennale led to a really exciting collaboration on a music video where I supplied some of the artistic  inspiration and specifically the works attached here. Hoping for continued collaborations ! Thank you  Amitai -Jojo Cohen  and all the crew! . .

Chanukah - Festival of Lights - only five days awa Chanukah - Festival of Lights - only five days away - celebrating amongst other things the miracle of a small pitcher of oil burning for 8 days!  I’m not  one to rely on miracles - so this Chanukah Menorah I made  a few years back will hopefully  last for 8 days without the need for heavenly intervention!  #contemporaryritual .

This Saturday The Torah portion tells the famous s This Saturday The Torah portion tells the famous story of Jacobs ladder - back in 2012 - I was having an “art block” and figured that perhaps this would be a great way to draw the muse back into my studio - taking the story literally I followed Jacobs lead - carved a pillow from stone (he gathered stones) and slept out for several nights with unfortunately little sleep and no angels /muse. That is when I decided to simply provide them with a ladder to make things easier for them and  thankfully they were kind enough to join me in my studio-I pray they stay!  As I revisit this project quarantined in my home I’m thinking a floating ladder would be a great escape!. #revisit .

Quarantine days if nothing else has given me the t Quarantine days if nothing else has given me the time to finish projects I have been pushing off- so today I finally ordered my first batch of Pandemic Amulet Masks - based on an amulet used to stop a previous plague here in Israel in the 16th century - thankfully the Gross  family collection let me use their image to make this possible!  Now I can’t wait till they arrive !
